JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane on Friday met with Black Business Council (BBC) president Dr Danisa Baloyi, and her executives, to discuss the mining legislative framework and “related issues which have been in the public domain recently”, said the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR).

The DMR highlighted the BBC as one of the stakeholders that had made written inputs on the draft Charter gazetted for public comment in April 2016.

The BBC has previously stated that it welcomed the reviewed Mining Charter 3, saying it embodied the objectives of “effective and practical radical transformation” necessary to stimulate the black industrialisation objectives of the National Development Plan.

Zwane told the BBC during the meeting that the DMR had committed to address the broader membership of the BBC about the meaningful transformation of the mining sector.

“We welcome the fact that stakeholders are making use of our open-door policy to come and hear from the regulator, first-hand, on issues pertaining to this critical sector of our economy,” he said.

“We look forward to continued engagements with the council, to take meaningful transformation of the mining sector forward,” concluded the Minister.
