Cardinal Namdini Mining Faces Community Backlash Over Alleged Neglect in Ghana
Residents of the Talensi District in Ghana's Upper East Region staged a protest against Cardinal Namdini Mining Limited, accusing the company of neglecting its corporate social responsibilities. The demonstrators, primarily women and youth, blocked access to the mining site, demanding the dismissal of the company's Corporate Social Responsibility Manager, Kofi Adusei. The protesters claim that mining activities have disrupted local livelihoods, particularly affecting women who rely on shea nut picking. The company, however, denies these allegations, stating that it is still in the developmental phase and plans to fulfill its social commitments once production increases.
