High Court to hear arguments for class action against Anglo over alleged lead poisoning
UK-based law firm Leigh Day says the South African High Court will, from January 20, hear arguments in an application to certify a class action lawsuit against diversified miner Anglo American over the alleged lead poisoning of community members near the Kabwe mine, in Zambia.
Anglo operated and/or was invested in the Kabwe mine between 1925 and 1974, before it was nationalised in 1974 and subsequently closed in 1994.
