South Africa’s High Court rejects a class action lawsuit against Anglo American over historic lead poisoning in Zambia’s Kabwe district. The dismissal stems from legal and practical concerns, yet lawyers plan to appeal. The case involves allegations of negligence in emissions control at a mine Anglo partly owned. The claimants, representing affected individuals, continue to pursue accountability. Despite the setback, the battle over environmental impacts from Kabwe’s past mining operations persists.
