Terwyl Suid-Afrikaners graag hul ondersteuning te kenne gee om die land se natuurerfenis te bewaar, is dit maar gewoonlik \u2019n handjievol wat werklik die moeite en energie insit om die ongekende verwoesting van veral die ongerepte Weskus die hoof te bied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Protect the West Coast is een s\u00f3 organisasie wat hom beywer om onwettige mynboubedrywighede teen te staan en het pas \u2019n revolusion\u00eare digitale hulpmiddel vir openbare deelname bekendgestel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Om die veldtog te ondersteun, gaan nou so maklik wees soos om \u2019n knoppie te druk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Mike Schlebach, die besturende direkteur van PTWC is die nuwe platform, Ripl, ontwikkel in reaksie op die verouderde en dikwels ontoeganklike openbaredeelnameproses. Op Ripl kan mense hul bekommernisse deur middel van \u2019n eenvoudige koppelvlak uitspreek en daardeur verseker dat mynbou meer doeltreffend ondersoek en die bedryf aanspreeklik gehou word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strandmynbou in \u2019n streek so ekologies delikaat en sosiaal kwesbaar soos die Weskus het \u2019n oorweldigende bedreiging geword. PTWC probeer keer dat di\u00e9 Weskus-landskap met elke nuwe mynprospekteer- of -permitaansoek in een reusemynterrein omgeskep word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schlebach het benadruk dat die departement van minerale en petroleum-hulpbronne (DMPR) inderhaas die meeste mynprospekteer- of permitaansoeke goedkeur, met min tot geen toesig of oorweging van hul kumulatiewe omgewingsimpak nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTot nou toe is openbare betrokkenheid by hierdie proses ernstig beperk,\u201d glo Schlebach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die wetlik voorgeskrewe openbaredeelnameproses vereis dat Suid-Afrikaners as belanghebbende en geaffekteerde partye registreer om kommentaar te lewer op of beswaar teen mynaansoeke te maak. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met mynbou-aansoeke wat dikwels op kort kennisgewing gepubliseer word, is daar aansienlike hindernisse wat gemeenskappe verhoed om betyds deel te neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PTWC het saam met iBay Digital, \u2019n Kaapstad-gebaseerde agentskap, \u2019n vernuwende, toeganklike platform vir openbare deelname ontwikkel. Dit is gebruikersvriendelik en ingestel om openbare betrokkenheid by myntoepassings en -app\u00e8lle te verander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripl stel enigiemand met \u2019n slimfoon in staat om maklik oor nuwe mynaansoeke uit te vind, as \u2019n belanghebbende en geaffekteerde party te registreer en kommentaar of besware in \u2019n paar eenvoudige stappe per e-pos of SMS in te dien,.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PTWC voorspel dat Ripl gemeenskapslede, vissermanne, akademici, aktiviste en bekommerde burgers wat direk geraak word, betyds oor app\u00e8lle en openbare vergaderings oor mynaansoeke in te lig, wat hulle in staat sal stel om op te tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sodra mense registreer, ontvang hulle onmiddellike kennisgewings oor nuwe mynaansoeke. Die platform kondenseer die tradisioneel komplekse en burokratiese openbaredeelnameproses tot \u2019n intu\u00eftiewe, gebruikersvriendelike ervaring \u2013 alles aanlyn. Dit dien as \u2019n direkte skakel tussen die gebruiker en die omgewingsevalueringspraktisyns wat mynaansoeke indien, of die betrokke staatsdepartemente in beheer van app\u00e8lle. Alle gebruikersvoorleggings word aangeteken en wettig deur die platform verwerk, wat \u2019n naatlose en verantwoordbare openbaredeelnameproses verseker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripl bied ook omvattende stelsel om te verseker dat openbare stemme nie net gehoor word nie, maar wetlik opgeneem word. PTWC se Ripl-span sal gebruikers ook op hoogte hou van enige opdaterings en vereiste volgende stappe, om verder aanspreeklikheid te verseker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Behalwe om individue te bemagtig, het Ripl die potensiaal om \u2019n golf openbare deelname te skep, wat nie ge\u00efgnoreer kan word nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Schlebach benadruk dat met Ripl hulle nie meer net teen een mynmaatskappy op \u2019n keer veg nie, maar \u2019n beweging mobiliseer. \u201cElke kommentaar en beswaar is \u2019n druppel in die see, maar saam skep ons \u2019n vloed wat die mynbedryf en die regering nie meer sal kan ignoreer nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ripl sal ook gebruikers met die bre\u00ebr gemeenskap van besorgde burgers, bewaringskundiges en omgewingsorganisasies verbind om \u2019n kollektiewe stem teen die gevare van onvolhoubare mynbou te bou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uit erkenning vir die linguistiese diversiteit van die Weskus, sal \u2019n Afrikaanse weergawe van die platform vinnig volg op die Engelse weergawe, wat nou bekendgestel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
PTWC beplan ook gemeenskapsuitreikprogramme om mense bewus te maak van Ripl en deelname aan te dryf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRipl gaan daaroor om mag aan die mense terug te gee en om te verseker dat die toekoms van die Weskus nie deur korporatiewe mynboubelange en \u2019n onverskillige [nasionale] regering gevorm word nie, maar deur die burgers wat hierdie brose ekostelsel koester en daarvan afhanklik is,\u201d het Schlebach verseker..<\/span> Besoek ripl.co.za om by Ripl aan te
