Our Mission

To empower members through effective interaction with all our stakeholders, and to promote professionalism.Our Vision

The acknowledged association in the coal mining industry

As part of stakeholder engagement, we visited the CEO of MHSC Mr Due together with his executives, where we shared theSACMA strategic focus areas for 2016, and also allowed him to share with SACMA his expectations, the challenges they have, andassistance required from us as an association. Some of the challenges they have to deal with, particularly from the coal sectorare: lack of participation from coal members on different committees within the council and few Research and Developmentinitiatives coming from the coal sector.

We have also agreed that we will continue with our engagement going forward to make sure that there is alignment between the two parties.

We also visited the University of Johannesburg under the leadership of Mr H Grobler, the Head of Mining, for the similar reasonto share our strategic focus areas with them as they are our key stakeholder - the presentation was well received by the team.They were encouraged to learn that SACMA has identified them as key stakeholders.

In closing, I would like to thank all the members that took their valuable time to participate in our survey; we had a 26% response rate. I would also like to assure those members that their feedback will be taken seriously.As the Council, we commit to work on the feedback and will keep members updated on the progress. Once again, we appreciate your input; it will assist us in making sure that you get the value for your time.

Until I write to you again,

Your President Lucky
