Abstract. South Africa was the third largest exporter of asbestos in the world for more than a century. As a consequence of particularly exploitative social conditions, former workers and residents of mining regions suffered—and continue to suffer—from a serious yet still largely undocumented burden of asbestos-related disease.

asbestos mines. During the twentieth century, South Africa produced most of the world's gold and virtually all of its crocidolite (blue) and amosite (brown asbestos). It was in South Africa that researchers discovered the connection between asbestos and mesothelioma [1]. The region has also produced chrysotile (white asbestos)

International Ban Asbestos Secretariat. Asbestos Profile: South Africa . by Laurie Kazan-Allen (Updated May 2018) The mining of asbestos, which began in South Africa in 1895, continued for more than 100 years; the commercial exploitation of chrysotile, crocidolite and amosite played a key role in the industrial development of the North Eastern Transvaal and the Northern Cape, …

The Pomfret Asbestos Mine is located in the North West province of South Africa. It operates as an underground mine, focusing on the extraction of crocidolite, which serves as the main ore of value. The waste materials encountered during the mining process primarily include magnetite, stilpnomelane, and chert.

There are three types of asbestos and all were mined in South Africa; the most carcinogenic is crocidolite, of which production peaked in 1977. The last asbestos mine closed only in 2002, and massive environmental contamination from unrehabilitated mines and mine dumps will ensure ongoing exposure well into the future.

The three important varieties of asbestos are found in this area. Chrysotile is economically available in large quantities. Crocidolite or Blue asbestos was discovered in approximately 1803 in Cape Providence and Transvaal in South Africa. "Amosite" was discovered in 1907 by a company known as Asbestos Mines of South Africa.
