GRIEVANCE STRUCTURES
The implementation of the grievance procedure has been monitored by an independent third party. The procedure has been successful in defusing community concerns given that is perceived to be robust and fair.
• Accessibility: Grievance Boxes were installed at key locations in the Dingletoncommunity.
• Reporting and investigation: A permanent member of staff was appointed to log all grievances. All the grievances are recorded on a database where the investigation, feedback and any mitigation measures are tracked.
• Response: Feedback is given within a month after receiving of the grievance.

4.0LESSONS LEARNED

A FEW LESSONS LEARNED• Land ownership: The resettlement is being implemented in an urban environment with
title deed holders (land is not held under community trust or communal ownership). Inthis context, agreements need to be made with individual households (i.e. deed holders)and this has implications for the role of the DRWG.
• Livelihood restoration: The community is moving into another urban environment thatis developing rapidly and there is a need to ensure that Kathu can deliver livelihoodimprovement as this community grows.
• Evolving issues: We learn new things about the community all the time.
• External issues: Resettlement process is vulnerable to national socio economic issuessuch as royalties, mineral rights etc.
• Engagement (community): Paying committee members can drag out engagementprocesses. Be consistent with what you offer to the community – have properprinciples in place.
• Engagement (government): Engage with Government on a high level ASAP to gettheir buy-in from the beginning
• Independence: It is important to win trust! An trusted third party to monitor the currentprocess.
