Policy certainty, load-shedding and illegal mining top of mind ahead of the Mining Indaba

With mining considered to be in an endless state of uncertainty in South Africa, EY Africa director and partner Khethiwe Cebekulu has named four key areas that need to be addressed by the Mineral Resources and Energy Minister Gwede Mantashe at the Investing in African Mining Indaba next week. With the Mining Indaba’s theme this year focused on optimising growth and investment in a digitised mining economy, Cebekulu said that it was “particularly important to recognise that the only route to long-term sustainability in the mining industry is to have certainty on regulatory policies and infrastructure security”.
