The Oppenheimers, through their company Shangani Holistic, turned to the courts after a South African firm Pearline Mineral Exploration conducted an aerial geophysical survey of their Shangani Ranch on June 2.
This is despite Pearline Mineral Exploration being one of companies with the government-issued exclusive prospecting orders in 2021 which gives it the rights to prospect for minerals over the a 3-year period. The EPOs cover 65,000 hectares, according to the Government Gazette, and were issued by the Mining Affairs Board.
There is a small school on the farm with roughly 150 students, most of whom are the children of workers. In 1937, just two years before the start of World War II, the Oppenheimers purchased the property which encompassed a total area of 144,000 hectares at the time.
