Proposed uranium mining in Namibia undermines cultivating The Namibian Agricultural Union (NAU) has communicated genuine worry about the evident expansion in the quantity of selective prospecting licenses (EPLs) being given by the Namibian government. Piet Gouws, NAU president, said in an explanation that the association had been immersed by enquiries from its individuals during the beyond couple of weeks about miners needing to access rural land.
