The 2019 Investing in African Mining Indaba – to be held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from February 4 to 7 – will be the twenty-fifth iteration of the event, with the “world’s largest mining conference” having reached this milestone being testimony to its relevance and value, says Minerals Council South Africa spokesperson Charmane Russell. The event has grown from just under 400 attendees and one South African Parliament representative in 1994 to a platform that typically attracts a minimum of 4 000 people, including heads of State, Ministers and chief executives from the most noteworthy mining and financial firms.
