It was in 2006 when the residents from one section of Ikemeleng heard about their removal in making way for the expansion of the open cast mining. Aquarius platinum mining was visibly at the fore in pursuing the residents move . Plenty of the promises where made but never accomplished A .Mr. Neils Fourie for the mines was the the chief negotiator during the process. Some of the promises being made was amongst other was,temporary toilets that will be used for the period of six months according to the agreement reached during that meeting with the communiuty. Soon the people where told that houses will follow with water and sanitation. People where very happy thinking that soon after their removal things will be as was said to them. At first the toilets services where better than the contractor of this present day. This system was rund by Talisman during the reign of mr fourie,but when Mrs Moraka took over from fourie ,she brought in Santshu to take over from Talisman as she complained that Talisman was very expensive.
Thats how the bucket system was introduced in ikemeleng.
