As discussed in previous sections, resettlement and resettlement often force individuals to move from their original locations to other areas. According to Maldonado (2011), these resettlements often have more impact on the lives of the people involved and, in some cases, can have a negative impact on the social, economic, cultural and physical aspects of the people's lives. Often, resettlement leaves people vulnerable and can lead to further struggles against poverty in a particular area. Land expropriation often harms people's productive land assets. This can result in further affecting communities and potentially negatively impacting the lives of all individuals in the community. The following section seeks to analyze the Motlhotlo resettlement and understand the impacts, both positive and negative, that it has on the community.6.1. Location and reason for relocation The Motlhotlo settlement is located within Anglo Platinum's Mogalakwena mine. The Mogalakwena mine is located in the Limpopo province and 30 kilometers northwest of the small town of Mokopane (formerly known as Potgietusrust). The Motlhotlo resettlement is a typical example of involuntary displacement and resettlement. This type of resettlement has become quite common and can be called mining-induced displacement and resettlement (MIDR). The MIDR problem often poses major risks to the societal sustainability of a region (Downing, 2002). The idea that development projects such as roads, dams and mines can lead to the impoverishment of populations is often strange since development is supposed to help people rather than negatively affect them. However, often because of this displacement, people lose their livelihoods and either receive money... middle of paper ...... ten times this takes a lot of time and brings a number of benefits to the project. This helps reduce the assumptions made and then allows for an understanding of traditional cultures.7. ConclusionDue to the increasing number of development-induced displacements in developing areas, it is important to understand the implications associated with this type of resettlement. Mining-induced resettlement is often common in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa, where poorer communities are mainly affected. It is therefore essential to understand how to resolve problems that may arise during the resettlement of these communities. Some communities face low levels of education and limited access to basic services, leading to low economic development in some areas. Many of these theories do not make assumptionsMeeting social needs
