Ro Teimumu Vuikaba Kepa & Chiefs of Rewa Province declare to Bainimarama their opposition to Namosi mining

Once again the consistently resolute chief, Ro Teimumu Kepa makes her views known on the province of Rewa's opposition to the Newcrest mining led project to mine for copper and gold in Namosi because of the effects that her people could inherit downstream.

The province of Rewa now join landowners of Namosi in stating their opposition to mining on their land because of the environmental damage they've seen so far.

The province is also concerned because of the location of the Waila pumping station intake valve which is just outside of Rewa province. From the Waila station, most of the people living in the Suva to Nausori corridor (perhaps Fiji's largest concentration of people) are supplied with their drinking water posing contamination fears from Namosi.
