Mineral Resources minister, Ms Susan Shabangu today met with South African platinum producers and Mining Industry Growth and Development Task Team (MIGDETT) Principals (government, organised labour and organised business) to have a frank and open discussion on the challenges facing the platinum industry in South Africa.
As a result of the meeting all parties agreed on a process to address current challenges facing the platinum sector with a view of putting in place a short and medium to long term plan for the sector.
The department will convene a task team that will lead the effort and its first meeting will be held next with very short time frames to report back to the broader MIGDETT principals meeting to be convened by the Minister soon.
Stakeholders collectively agreed to engage on ideas to enrich the work of the task team.
