Thanks to @MISTRA_SA for the invite today. We are looking forward to the debates on #FutureOfSAMining
Despite the fact that we are a major mining economy, as a country, we don't take ourselves serious. We take mining as a "by the way". JHB is a product of mining. Rustenburg & Burgersfort are fastest growth points in the country economically because of mining #FutureOfSAMining
It is the responsibility of all stakeholders in the industry to engage communities. In the department, @DMR_SA, we are strengthening our engagements with communities. #FutureOfSAMining
The department, @DMR_SA, has been going through a difficult period for a long time. Today, the department talks to many people. We listen. We have redefined who we are. We have defined that, we are supposed to serve people. We are not the enemy of the industry #FutureOfSAMining
Talking to each rather than shouting at each other will help us to develop a better future for the mining industry #FutureOfSAMining
I visited major mining areas when I first came into the department. We must transform the industry & ensure that communities benefit from mining. We have impressed on mining companies to pull their resources together & implement impact projects to communities #FutureOfSAMining
‘Coal miners have not put up their argument to this debate...instead they’ve run for cover. We are not hearing anything about other options like clean coal’ ~ Minister of DMR @GwedeMantashe1 @MISTRA_SA’ #FutureOfSAMining book launch
I believe coal is going to be with us much longer than many people expect. #FutureOfSAMining
Response from the panel ~ Yes, coal is strategic but it has to be managed #FutureOfSAMining
From the floor ~ Direct conflict of interest between coal mining and the rest of the mining industry #FutureOfSAMining
Until you understand the mining industry properly, you will never realise that it is a sunrise industry. It is a sunrise industry. #FutureOfSAMining
From the floor ~ The question is not only about whether it is a sunset or sunrise... what we should be asking is who benefits?#FutureOfSAMining
From the floor : is coal not a strategic mineral?#FutureOfSAMining
When we talk about mining as a sunrise or sunset industry, we will have to refer to its relation to the people. Over the years in the industry, my view is that, it has failed to relate to people in way that makes it a sunrise industry. #FutureOfSAMining
Half the time when we talk about mining we talk about rocks & money. My understanding over the years of my involvement in mining is that, mining is about people - workers/communities. Once it is not about people, it collapses. It won't work #FutureOfSAMining
The authors of The Future of Mining in South Africa:Sunset or Sunrise? giving an overview of their chapters. Khwezi Mabasa is providing the union perspective on #FutureofSAMining. @MISTRA_SA book launch.
@DMR_SA Minister, @GwedeMantashe1 closes off his keynote by urging the mining industry to involve people and communities in their deals as that would determine its sunrise or sunset fate. #FutureofSAMining book launch.
@DMR_SA Minister @GwedeMantashe1: South Africans are hypocritical when it comes to coal mining. They treat coal as a polluting substance but when there is loadshedding they turn to coal. @MISTRA_SA #FutureofSAMining book launch.
Minister Gwede Mantashe gives the keynote address at the #FutureofSAmining book launch today at the @CSIR: "If you understand mining properly, you will know that it's a sunrise industry. Not all mining is gold mining". #mining #minerals #engineering
