2020-10-5 Sand mining in South Africa is controlled by a complex regulatory system that can be distilled into three main themes: mineral regulation; environmental regulation; and land use planning regulation. In this thesis, it is hypothesised that sand mining is subject to all three regulatory themes equally.

In South Africa, there are three main mining methods used on heavy mineral deposits: 1) Monitoring method: used by KZN Sands mining operations where the minerals occur in a sand form and no size reduction is needed. It employs water guns for reclamation of sand from the rock face (Fig 4).
