background
Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant and first respondent entered into a cooperation agreement for mining operations at Botha Mine, with the applicant receiving 16% of gold sales. After disputes arose, the parties reached a consent order in April 2018, but the first respondent failed to pay the applicant's share. The applicant cancelled the agreement and sought an interdict to stop mining operations pending resolution of the main dispute.
