“South Africa is committed to creating conditions for inclusive growth and transformation of the economy. Structural transformation of the South African economy rests on a partnership between government, business, organised labour and all stakeholders who share our commitment to inclusiveness in our development path,” says Hoosen.
He adds that this year’s Mining Indaba will have key focus on partnerships in the critical mineral value chains for sustainable development..
