Thesis (M.Dev.(Plannng and Management )) -- University of Limpopo, 2020 / The purpose of this study was to analyse the local perception of the Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) of the mining companies on local community development in
Fetakgomo-Tubatse Local Municipality, Limpopo, South Africa, adopting a qualitative
research method. Interview transcripts and field notes represented the primary data
from which thematic analyses, labelling and organising evidence in themes and
categories as they emerged out of the data rather than being imposed on research
participants prior to data collection and analysis. The findings revealed that mining
companies are partially contributing to the development of the communities where
they do their operations and their impact is minimal. Their CSR projects lack
sustainability and are not primarily changing the lives of the people due to high levels
of under-development, illiteracy levels, lack of skills, unemployment and structural
abject poverty in their mining communities.
