President Cyril Ramaphosa says the government is committed to working with the mining industry to make the sector a more people-friendly job provider.
Addressing delegates at the Mining Indaba at the CTICC, he said it is important that mining companies not only invest in their infrastructure and operations but also in the development and well-being of their employees.
Ramaphosa says greater output and profit margins should not only benefit mining companies and the GDP but also the thousands of South Africans who do this tough and selfless work.
