Mineral Resources Minister, Ms Susan Shabangu (MP), will host the first National Jewellery Forum on 23rd and 24th October 2013, in Johannesburg.
The Forum brings together mining and jewellery manufacturing associations and Government, with the view to creating entrepreneurs with the requisite skills to enable South Africa to become a global jewellery hub, as announced in the Minister’s Budget Vote Speech in May this year.

Jewellery manufacturing is one of the five key value chains identified in the Beneficiation Strategy approved by Cabinet in 2011, implementation of which will leverage the country’s precious metal and gemstone reserves to position South Africa as a thriving and globally competitive jewellery hub. Among the key outcomes of the forum is the development of a proposed curriculum for Entrepreneurial Jewellery Design and Manufacturing, which will ultimately be offered at public FET colleges and other institutions of higher learning,  as well as to have a structured and coordinated approached to financial and non-financial support for jewellery designers and manufacturers. The Minister will be joined by representatives from the departments of Trade and Industry, Higher Education and Training, as well as industry participants.
