State minerals and metallurgical research organisation Mintek has welcomed the appointment of its new board by Cabinet.

In a media statement, Mintek says the newly appointed board will provide strategic leadership and governance as Mintek continues to advance its mandate of driving mineral and metallurgical innovation, supporting the growth and competitiveness of the minerals sector and contributing to South Africa's industrial development.

The board comprises reappointed chairperson Dr Thibedi Ramontja and reappointed directors Azwindini Thomani and Dr Takalani Madzivhandila, as well as newly appointed directors Luvuyo Keyise, Dr Faranna Boodrham, Dr Palesa Ramashala, Lerato Hilda Dikgole, Dr Sandile NcananaNondumiso Ngonyama, Dr Avela Majavu and Kagiso Menoe, who is a representative of the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources.

Mintek congratulates the chairperson and all board members on their appointment.

The organisation also welcomes the reappointment of members whose experience and institutional knowledge will provide continuity, while the addition of new members brings fresh perspectives and expertise to support Mintek's strategic direction.

Mintek says the board assumes office at a pivotal time as South Africa seeks to maximise the value of its mineral resources through innovation, beneficiation, localisation and the development of critical minerals value chains.

“Guided by its Strategy 2030, Mintek remains committed to delivering world class research, development and innovation that enables industrial growth, strengthens the competitiveness of the mining and minerals sector, and contributes to inclusive economic development.

“Mintek looks forward to working closely with the new board to build on its legacy of scientific excellence and to further position South Africa as a global leader in mineral and metallurgical innovation.”
