From the date that the Manganese Ore Terminal was established in the Port of Port Elizabeth, irate citizens have made calls for it to be moved to another less densely populated tourist area. Of course the win would be for the entire facility to be moved to a covered one somewhere far far away... Working on the assumption that the TNPA (Transnet National Ports Authority) and it's minions might have difficulty driving a Search Query on Google to find out how many broken promises have been made … [Read more...] about So, How Many Times has TNPA Promised to Move the Manganese Ore Terminal?

Cape Town also experiencing Manganese Ore Dust woes
The City of Cape Town is now also being exposed to the export of Manganese Ore as a recent report in the Weekend Argus shows - full report here.

The cost of Manganese Ore Dust to residents
A strange thing happens when you ask people to provide identifying information - they don't contribute to any surveys, fearing the sanctity of their anonymity. But, we at MyPE asked for some identifying data from people filling in the Manganese Ore survey just so that we can (for our own satisfaction) prove the veracity of the data collected. Your identifying details are NOT shared with anyone else. Thus far we have had seventeen responses to our survey and can confirm that all either … [Read more...] about The cost of Manganese Ore Dust to residents
Manganese Ore and Snow White
Dear MyPE I previously wrote to family about the Manganese Ore and they thought that I was being unfair and coming on too hard regarding the ore dust - you might have thought so too.

The public transport system received a 'boost' ahead of the 2010 World Cup when President Blatter … [Read more...] about Image: Buses Collect Dust
