To support the Mineral Petroleum Resource Development Act, we introduced the Mining Charter 1, as a tool of transformation to de-racialise ownership of the mineral resources, to improve the living and working conditions of the workers, to enable economic empowerment and development of our communities, to advance human resources and research development in mining and to engender beneficiation of our mineral. This requires constant work and contribution by everybody. This set us on the path to ascertain that mining benefits not only a clique of the white minority, but the marginalised majority.
