Trigon Mining Namibia is expected to start open-pit mining at Kombat Mine next month after 14 years of the mine being shut down due to a drop in copper prices and a power outage that resulted in the flooding of the mine.<\/p>\n

The community garden is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility and has 2,5 hectares of land under irrigation for crop production to plant onions, tomatoes, lettuce and and cabbage.<\/p>\n

Vice president of operations Fanie Muller says the mine wants to invest in the community to sustain itself well beyond its years of mining.<\/p>\n

\u201cWater is the greatest resource at Kombat. So we want to ensure we utilise it well for the benefit of the community as well as the mine,\u201d Muller says.<\/p>\n

The company aims to extend the current amount of land under irrigation, and has planted maize of 1,5 hectares with the support of a farmer in the Kombat area.<\/p>\n

Heinz von Biljon made his tractors, staff and seedlings available for the extension.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
