Robinson dam in Randfontein, South Africa contaminated and highly radioactive with uranium and iron pyrite from years of acid mine drainage. Randfontein, Gauteng Province, South Africa - stock photo

This derelict landscape of the Robinson Dam in Randfontein, South Africa is all that remains of what was once a popular vacation spot. Raw and highly toxic mine effluent, highly radioactive and toxic, was pumped into this dam for years by nearby Gold mining companies. The area is now devoid of all forms of life and no current remediation is being done to clean up this environmental disaster. Acid mine drainage is a serious problem in the Gauteng province of South Africa as a result of over 130 years of Gold mining. Poor governance and complacency have led to an environmental disaster of epic proportion.
