Your posting to Confluence re-examined the process as to how the mineral rights were legally registered in the realisation company (NGS), which is owned by the heirs.
Some of the participants on this thread have attempted to paint a picture, that South Africa is a somewhat backward country, a country incapable of handling their own administrative duties. This attitude is quite common and prevalent in many foreign companies, an example being SUF.
Counties like South Africa (and others) inherited from the British, a bureaucracy, which required, for their own self importance and livelihood, an administrative system which had or, has few rivals.
Confluence has questioned the reliability of the Certificates of Mineral Rights as he questions the competency of the administrators a generation ago. They were in fact, more particular in their duties as they had no computers to assist and were meticulous with their records.
Does Confluence suggest that all our forefathers were just plain stupid, or at the very least guilty of gross incompetence?
If Confluence would once more read your posting, it would show quite clearly that the procedure taken by the heirs, to register their mineral rights, was not a simple course to follow. Once again, a number of different and totally separate government departments were involved. Each would of course, demand that all relevant documentation be up to standard before processing their part, and then,...... off to the next department.
This word attribution keeps on surfacing on this thread, especially by a participant who believes their argument is weak. Whatever has been posted on this thread, is either his/her own opinion, or attributed to a particular document, which the participant is referring to. You could of course go further and ask where the source material on the source is, and so on..... Endless splitting of hairs.( pardon the pun.)
The case on the M1 is to be heard soon, and we can then take it for granted that the judgement will to some extent, have enough attribution to satisfy some of the participants, or would they query the Judge's attribution, taking into account the information presented to him by the parties involved.
Nempele in his posting quotes ' it is standard procedure to quickly and without fanfare acquire to the mineral rights'. Does this mean by stealth, as I have previously asked?
Regards.
