The delegation, which visited the province at the weekend, wants these allegations of abuse, forced evictions and criminality directed at farm dwellers to be investigated by the authorities.

The delegation said the mining company tried to evict the family from the farm, but it is challenging the eviction order and they are now living surrounded by mining operations.
