Realising South Africa’s Mineral Wealth Panel Discussion - Part 1

One of the key sectors for South Africa’s economy is mining. It’s a sector that employs 500,000 people and represents about 7% of GDP. However over the last decade mining has been underperforming as a sector despite a global commodity boom. The focus of this roundtable discussion is to identify problem areas within mining and look at ways to take the industry forward.

The Mineral Wealth panel includes:

Godfrey Oliphant, SA Deputy Minister for Mineral Resources

Xolani Mkhwanazi – President of the SA Chamber of Mines

Peter Teman, Chairman of SAMDA

Bheki Sibiya, President of SAMDA
