Those responsible for contaminating South African land will pay, Environmental Affairs Minister Buyelwa Sonjica said on Wednesday.

"We have taken the view that the cost of reducing pollution must be shared between people who are responsible for waste: the polluters," she told a waste management conference in Boksburg, east of Johannesburg.

"We are now saying that the policy of 'the polluter pays' will be strictly pursued without any fear."

The map aims at stimulating the climate change debate, as the 16th Conference of the Parties (COP16), in Cancun, in December approached.

The multi platform, interactive map focused on some of the changes that could occur if the global average temperature increased by 4°C above the pre-industrial climate average.
