There have been positive developments since the introduction of the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan in October last year, and while implementation has been delayed, continued engagement between Minerals Council South Africa and government, as well as the current commodities price environment, has resulted in cautious optimism for the mining industry, says Minerals Council chief economist Henk Langenhoven. "Mining is doing well at the moment," he comments. "There's a very good feeling that's developed between the companies and their employees, because of how the companies kept paying salaries and tried to keep miners safe during the height of the pandemic."
