We speak with Mametlwe Sebei, President of GIWUSA, ahead of the foundation's annual conference on October 16, 2024, in Johannesburg. Mametlwe, an attorney at Lawyers for Human Rights, joined a stakeholder panel discussing "Strengthening Accountability and Adherence to International Standards in Mining." With his expertise in environmental rights and advocacy for mining-affected communities, he highlights labor perspectives on the mining industry's impact, emphasizing the need for robust enforcement of social and environmental obligations to protect working-class communities from exploitation.
