Rachel refuses to trust Lubert while Lewis wants to make the best of it, and the bipolar approach that the wife and husband have to the aftermath of war demonstrates the lingering effects of grief. (Especially the ending.) The film, like the book, finds a great love triangle in the relationship of the Morgans and Lubert once Lewis permits the good German to remain in his luxurious home, rather than go to the camps where many suspected members of the Nazis were forced to go as the Allies performed a clean sweep of the country. The predicament of how allies and rivals repair wounds ravaged by war fuels this adaptation of The Aftermath, which, while imperfect, greatly improves upon the novel. However, anyone who signed up to the prestige picture expecting Oscar gold surely couldn’t have read the novel by Rhidian Brook on which The Aftermath is based – a lethargically meandering bestseller whose popularity is truly inexplicable. It’s as if everyone on set realized that they weren’t filming the Oscar contender they signed up for, but, good Brits that they are, soldiered on and got the job done. The Aftermath has another doodle, or maybe pickle, in that it has the same sense of malaise that troubles the Morgans’ marriage. Who knows what the German translation is for “That’s one doodle that can’t be undid, homeskillet,” but the Morgans might want to google it. Rachel isn’t happy about being in enemy territory, but it’s not long after relaxing her posterior on Herr Lubert’s seat that she soon finds herself reclining on his dining room table with her legs straddling his thighs. Said chair belongs to her German host, Stephen Lubert (Alexander Skarsgård), who is billeting Rachel and her husband, Lewis (Jason Clarke), in his lavish home as the Brits and Allies sweep the nation of Nazis following the war. An uber-modern reclining chair teaches Rachel Morgan (Keira Knightley) that not all Germans in post-war Berlin are her enemies. San Francisco, CA.It started with a chair.

Urgent attention is needed to ensure that further mobility of the tailings both in the facility and in the surrounding area is prevented. The weather forecast for Jagersfontien indicates that rain is anticipated on 19 September. I hope that attention will now be paid to ensuring that these are safe. In 2020, 52 of these were classified as being “active high risk tailings dams “. Reports indicate that there are 400 more tailings facilities in South Africa. No explanation has been provided as yet as to why this occurred, but it is interesting to note that the failure occurred on the southeast wall of the facility. This appears on first inspection to have been what might be described as buttressing on the downstream side. This was not matched on the east side, for example. It is very clear that the wall of the tailings dam on the southeast corner was greatly thickened over the two year period. Note the buttressed walls of dam on the southereastern side. Google Earth image of the Jagersfontein tailings dam from February 2021. This is a Google Earth image from February 2019:. Of particular focus will be the walls on the southern edge of the facility. Operations were suspended at least once, reportedly because of concerns about regulatory compliance. It appears from the satellite imagery and from Google Earth that old spoil heaps were being “mined”, with the waste being stored in a greatly expanded tailings storage facility. One key question is whether the facility fell between regulatory stools because it was a reprocessing centre rather than an active mine. Inevitably, there is a great deal of interest in what happened at the Jagersfontein tailings dam site of the in the period leading up to the failure.


There are reports of further pollution problems at the site as a result of the discharge of sewage into the river because of the loss of sewage treatment facilities in the accident.
