Keyword(s):
Significance While the latest draft by Minister of Mineral Resources Gwede Mantashe is a significant improvement on its predecessor, it still requires extensive clarification and modification if it is to attract growth-inducing investment and placate communities’ concerns. Impacts Growing mineworker deaths will increase tensions with miners over safety issues and working conditions. The coal industry will decline as Eskom’s finances deteriorate, climate change mitigation pressures start and global export markets wane. Further ahead, declining ore grades will be offset by digitalisation efficiencies and new demand for metals (notably, chrome and manganese).
