Exxaro’s new Belfast business unit manager sets out to make valuable impact
As part of building an empowered, diverse and innovative workforce of tomorrow, South African miner Exxaro has appointed Londolani Rampfumedzi as its Belfast mine’s new business unit manager.
Rampfumedzi previously worked at Glencore, managing two of its underground mines and strategic projects, then moved to iMpunzi and finally joined Mafube in 2017 as General Manager, before being appointed to his current role.
His mining journey, however, started at Exxaro’s Tshikondeni mine in 2003.
With the Belfast Implementation Project and other forward-thinking initiatives in the pipeline, Rampfumedzi believes the Belfast mine is “an exciting one to manage”, as it uses technology to add value and provide opportunities for growth.
Rampfumedzi plans to rally his new team and combine the Exxaro and Anglo American styles of management to “bring the best of both” into Belfast’s operations.
“In everything we do at Belfast, we need to ask ourselves if we can do it better by employing technology. We aren’t just digitising for the fun of it – the technology has to make our lives better, allow us to mine smarter and bring value to our people,” he explains.
The new manager hopes to build an environment where all Belfast stakeholders can thrive.
“As miners, it is our responsibility to ensure that the areas we operate in don’t become ghost towns when we’re gone. We are working hard to ensure that our communities don’t only benefit from our operations while we’re there but become fully sufficient, sustainable societies in the long run,” he comments.
