S 1 - 2 A1 D I ID RK RT C - 0

Women and children from Kabwe, Zambia are appealing a South African court ruling that blocked their class action against Anglo American. They say the company’s historic involvement in a lead mine harmed about 140,000 residents through decades of toxic exposure. Anglo argues it held only a minority stake and is not responsible for the pollution. Rights groups back the plaintiffs, saying Kabwe remains one of the world’s most contaminated areas.
