South Africa&#8217;s partner \u2013 Mining Affected Communities United in Action (?MACUA)? were at the front line of the ?anti-corruption? march, which saw thousands taking to the streets of Joburg&#8217;s CBD, uniting against corruption and demanding justice and government accountability.??<\/p>\n<p>Christopher Rutledge\u2014 AASA\u2019s Mining and Extractives Coordinator explained that MACUA\u2019s voice is crucial to challenge injustice in South Africa. \u201cWe think that their involvement in the march was important for the movement of mining affected communities to put their issues on the national agenda.
