Introduction

  • South Africa's economic growth has been and will continue to be closely

linked to the mining industry. The country is one of the world's most important mining countries in terms of the variety and quantity of minerals produced

  • South Africa has the world's largest reserves of Platinum Group Minerals

(PGM's), chrome, gold, vanadium and manganese

  • Our province inherited the name Gauteng because of the mining

activities that were taking place within the province.

  • Gold was once the pillar of the economy of South Africa in the 1980s

since it contributed about 15% of the national GDP.

SOUTH AFRICA’S COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE

In-Situ value conservatively estimated at US$ 2.5 Trillion, excluding energy commodities (coal, uranium, thorium)

South Africa’s Comparative Advantage

Mineral reserve (2013)

  • South Africa has the world’s largest resources of platinum

group metals (88% of world total)

  • Manganese (80%)
  • Chromium (72%)
  • Gold (30%),

Problem Statement

  • South Africa is one of the world’s largest exporters
  • f platinum group metals, coal, gold and vanadium,

and a significant exporter of manganese ore with v limited local beneficiation .

SLIDE 7

Mining and minerals products contribute 38.18% of our exports (September 2015) and the industry employs 490 000 workers (June 205). 1. This could be much higher if our raw materials were processed into intermediate and finished products before export. 2. Strengthen the mining industry by building manufacturing corridors.

Rationale

Strategic Objectives

  • Transformation of the Economy: transforming the

industry by moving away from export of raw material to export finished goods

  • Modernisation: Support the Use Morden technologies

to improve process efficiencies from mining to manufacturing

  • Re–Industrialization: Support the upgrading and value

addition of South Africa’s minerals, by encouraging local manufacturing and production.

  • Environmental and Health Management: Support

the development of technologies to minimise the impact from mining activities on its workforce

  • Skills Development: skills development personnel in

the industry to improve efficiency.

Challenges Affecting the industry

  • Rapidly Rising Input Cost (e.g energy)
  • Labour Productivity
  • Research and Development Investment
  • Compliance with Environmental Regulations
  • High Transport and Logistics Costs
  • Limited Access to Capital (industrial finance, customized

industrial inventive)

  • Unfavourable global trade (trade tariffs, heavily subsidized

products
