A coalition of civil society groups has gone to court to block the development of a planned heavy industry zone in Limpopo, saying a "clear conflict of interest" means the project should be halted.
The organisations say the company set up to run the Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone is linked to the provincial department responsible for granting environmental authorisation for building to commence.
"The environmental impact assessment process upon which the environmental authorisation is based is fatally flawed," the Centre for Applied Legal Studies, the Herd Nature Reserve and Living Limpopo said in court papers lodged with the Polokwane High Court last month.
