Mining Indaba

Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe emphasised the role of the mining sector in the recovery and reconstruction of South Africa’s economy at the same time as giving timeline to the shift away from coal fired energy generation.

The trend towards a low-carbon future was a key theme at the Mining Indaba, which is affecting the prospects for coal miners in South Africa.

"The whole South African mining and beneficiation sector was built on the back of cheap and abundant electricity availability," says Blom.

The ability of large industry such as mining to implement decarbonsing practices will be central to maintaining institutional investor commitment.
