The President of South Africa, President Cyril Ramaphosa, is confirmed to attend the 2022 Investing in African Mining Indaba (www.MiningIndaba.com), taking place in Cape Town from 9 - 12 May 2022. The President will deliver a Keynote Address at 08:45 on Tuesday, 10 May.
The President’s attendance, along with Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe, signals the continued importance of mining to the South African economy as a cornerstone creator of value through investment, procurement, job creation and community investment, and its contribution to the fiscus. The industry more than proved its mettle during the Covid-19 pandemic, making a substantial contribution to taxes during a time when South Africa most needed it.
The President’s participation in the Investing in African Mining Indaba, where he will address mining industry leaders and investors from all over the world, follows on the highly successful South Africa Investment Conference in March, and will further serve as a major network for driving investment in the country and on the continent.
Simon Ford, portfolio director for the Mining Indaba, praised the high-level participation of governments in the highly anticipated 2022 event, noting that the continent was demonstrating a serious commitment to welcoming investment in mining. The confirmation of President Ramaphosa’s attendance brings the number of attending presidents at this year’s Indaba to four.
