Joburg Indaba opens with calls for policy certainty and renewed purpose in mining

# Mining leaders say partnerships and collaboration are key to growing South Africa’s mining industry. Speaking at the 13th annual Joburg Indaba in Sandton, the indaba’s chairperson, Bernard Swanepoel, called for a renewed sense of purpose in addressing the sector’s challenges. Anglo American CEO Duncan Wanblad warned that policy uncertainty and weak exploration support have left South Africa under-explored for two decades.
