Swanepoel rubbishes claims that South Africa's mining industry is on the decline
The South African mining industry is not on its last legs, Manganese Metal Company chairperson and Zimplats and Impala Platinum nonexecutive director Bernard Swanepoel has insisted. Speaking at the Fall of Ground Action Plan (FoGAP) 2025 Annual Day of Learning conference, in Kempton Park, on March 28, the former Harmony Gold CEO was bullish about the future of the domestic mining industry, despite reports outlining persisting decline – particularly in the gold and platinum group metal (PGM) mining sectors.
