Realising Africa’s

full potential

Mining Indaba

Cape Town

7 February 2017

“Africa’s mining sector is in crisis. At its root is a

lack of trust between mining companies,

governments and indeed, the very nations they

lead. A failure to tackle the crisis will result

in serious, adverse implications for both economic

growth and employment prospects at the moment

when the continent's needs are rapidly increasing.” HE Olusegun Obasanjo, Chairman: The Brenthurst Foundation and former President

of the Federal Republic of Nigeria introducing the Zambezi Protocol

Africa is host to

• 95% of the world’s known

platinum reserves

• 90% of chromite

• 80% of phosphates

• 60% of gem diamond reserves

• more than 50% of cobalt

• 28% of vanadium

• 25% of manganese

• 23% of titanium

• 20% of known

gold reserves

There is a need for a fresh start in stakeholder relationships given clear common interest. The vicious cycle needs to be broken, trust needs to be re-established, a shared narrative developed, and a fair deal agreed. To start this process, which will not be easy, new avenues for dialogue need to be found, and common interests identified.

Aligning stakeholders

for a successful

future

Stakeholder responsibilities

“The journey to our

greatness cannot be carried

out by one person alone, or indeed, by one group alone.

It cannot be carried out by

government alone, or the

unions alone, or the industry

by itself. The road to a better

future for all mining’s

stakeholders lies in

collaboration and partnership.”

Chamber President,

Mike Teke
