DISTINCT SECTORS: The Minerals Council South Africa has expressed regret over some parts of the Industrial Development Strategy 2026 released by the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition this month. The council is especially perturbed by the strategy’s move to link beneficiation conditions to the issuance of mining rights. Mining and beneficiation, the council avers, are separate and distinct economic sectors in the mineral value chain. “Beneficiation cannot, and must not, be imposed on mining because beneficiation forms part of manufacturing and overall industrialisation,” CEO Mzila Mthenjane argues.

WEATHER WARNING: In early June, the World Meteorological Organisation confirmed that there were indications of a potentially strong El Niño event developing. Fuelled by unusually warm ocean waters in the tropical Pacific, these conditions are set to influence global temperature and rainfall patterns, increasing the risk of extreme weather over the coming months. For South Africa, that portends a possible drought, with implications for food prices and security.
