South Africa Bill Would Bar Silicosis Suits
South Africa's Health Department proposed a draft law to replace lawsuits with a no-fault compensation fund for miners with lung diseases like silicosis. Critics argue it shields mine owners, while supporters claim it brings social justice. The bill would affect companies like AngloGold Ashanti, Gold Fields, and Harmony, which have shares listed on the NYSE. The public comment period ends on 5 February 2027.
