One of the major challenges facing Alexkor was the establishment of the Pulling and Sharing Joint Venture (PSJV) between Alexkor and the Richtersveld community in relation to mine operations. An impediment delaying the establishment of the PSJV is the legitimacy of the Richtersveld Executive Committee as two executive committees both claim legitimacy. The matter has been brought before court and the ruling at the time of writing the report was still pending.
