Do you need to to have a mining license to mine sabunga on your farm?
"Sabunga" is apparently a (South Africa) colloquial name for a type or variety of sand and / or gravel, from weatherized dolerite.
As for a mining license, to be sure,
you should check with the (South Africa) Department of Minerals and Energy (DME.Gov.ZA).
If you are quarrying and commercially selling (Sabunga) dolerite,
then you REQUIRE a mining license issued by the government.
Legislation passed in South Africa, made minerals "government property",
for the benefit of "All" South Africans (not just you).
If you are digging up a little Sabunga with hand tools to be used on-site for construction on your farm, you might not require a mining license.
