This year, the Gondwana Group proudly commemorates 21 years of impactful environmental projects, highlighting our commitment to sustainability and client service. In our series covering 21 projects over 21 weeks, we delve into our pivotal 2005 Air Quality Impact Assessment (AQIA) for Tembisa, Gauteng, which marked the beginning of our journey as a specialized AQIA provider.
Since our inaugural AQIA in Tembisa, Gondwana has executed numerous assessments across mining, energy, and urban development sectors, collaborating with leading industry partners. Our expertise is grounded in precise data and practical recommendations tailored to South Africa’s regulatory landscape.
In honor of its 21st anniversary, Gondwana Group is highlighting 21 key environmental projects over 21 weeks. This week features the Rustenburg Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP), Gondwana’s first public sector project from 2004, which has significantly improved environmental governance in Southern Africa. The AQMP helps local authorities create data-driven strategies for better air quality and public health.
In 2025, Gondwana Group celebrates 21 years of environmental solutions in South Africa, having completed nearly 1,000 projects since 2004. To commemorate this milestone, we are launching a blog series, “21 Projects Over 21 Weeks,” starting with Project 1: Stack Monitoring for AngloGold Ashanti, which quantified the SO₂ emissions to ensure compliance with their emissions permit
Business and industry need to be at the forefront of air pollution control through corporate responsibility and efficient air quality management.
