With the Local Government Elections mere weeks away, it is imperative that every ANC volunteer engages directly with the community to stress the significance of voter registration and exercising their democratic right to choose their preferred government. #RegisterToVoteANC

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

We are engaging with community members in Ward 15, Ethekwini, to get a sense of our response to service delivery challenges. Like our forebears, we must show the same resolve & courage to solve the current economic, social & political challenges facing our people & country.

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

We are visiting the Ethekwini Region in KwaZulu-Natal to assess the effectiveness of the ANC election structures and activate the voter registration campaign ahead of the forthcoming Local Government Elections. #RegisterToVoteANC

We are engaging with ANC structures in Hammarsdale, Ward 6, eThekwini Region. Local government remains the sphere closest to people. ANC-led Municipalities must fulfil their basic obligations: fix potholes, keep communities clean & provide clean water & sanitation #RegisterToVote

Together, we can strengthen collaboration among governments, industry, regional bodies and development partners, thus ensure that our mineral wealth becomes a foundation for shared prosperity and sustainable growth.

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

A persistent challenge we must address is the exploration financing gap. In SA, we see encouraging cooperation between government & industry through the Junior Mining Exploration Fund, established to support junior companies facing barriers to meaningful exploration.

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

In line with SA’s own approach, the G20 Critical Minerals Framework is structured around & interrelated strategic pillars, each addressing challenges across the value chain: Mapping & Exploration; Value Addition & Local Development; Stable, Resilient & Diversified Value Chains...

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

Africa must unite in elevating its role in the global mining value chains – from being primarily an exporter of raw minerals to becoming a key player in value-added production & supply chain integration. We must encourage inclusive partnerships that prioritise local development

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

Africa remains largely trapped in pit-to-port models, with limited beneficiation & minimal participation in global mining value chains. This historical pattern has left us contending with underdeveloped infrastructure & unequal access to downstream economic benefits

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

The global demand for these critical minerals is expected to more than double by 2040 - Africa must capitalise on this. These resources present the continent with a distinct opportunity to stimulate sustainable economic growth, create employment, & drive industrialisation

[Gwede Mantashe @GwedeMantashe1]

Alongside PGMs, manganese, iron ore, chrome ore, cobalt, lithium, graphite, & rare earth elements are the more traditional yet equally critical minerals such as gold, coal, & diamonds – all of which continue to anchor our economies & provide the much-needed employment
