b'In this third instalment of Sound Africa\\u2019s Nuclear SA mini-series, Dhashen Moodley takes a look at the potential consequences of uranium mining in the Karoo. We speak to a Khoi-San activist who, drawing parallels with recent protests at Standing Rock in the USA, worries about the threat uranium mining poses to water supplies in this arid land. Meanwhile local farmers voice their concerns, politicians are enticed with promises of job creation, and mining companies continue to chase profit margins. Uranium mining in the Karoo is a potentially explosive story, with enormous social and economic consequences, yet it has largely been overlooked.\\n\\n--\\n\\nFind out more about Sound Africa at our website: http://soundafrica.org\\nLike Sound Africa on Facebook: www.facebook.com/soundafricapodcast\\nFollow Sound Africa on Twitter: https://twitter.com/sound_africa and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sound_africa/\\n\\n--\\n\\nSound Africa is an independent podcast collective based in South Africa.
