Mining is at the heart of South Africa’s story — past, present, and future. It grows the economy, supports transformation, and contributes significantly to the national fiscus through taxes, royalties, and investment. Mining matters because it creates well-paid jobs, develops skills, and opens opportunities for all South Africans.
But beyond numbers, mining is about people. It sustains families, strengthens communities, and builds a foundation for shared, sustainable growth. From empowering historically disadvantaged groups to supporting local enterprises, the industry is deeply committed to transformation that is both meaningful and lasting. Mining for Mzansi means mining responsibly with purpose: ensuring that South Africa’s mineral wealth drives inclusive growth, attracts investment, and powers sustainable development.
Mining for growth means securing a future where opportunity is shared, jobs are safe, and progress is built for generations to come.
