The Brigadier Stokes Award was instituted by the Southern African Institute of Mining and Metallurgy in 1980 in honour of one of South Africa's most respected mining pioneers, Brigadier Stokes, to commemorate his outstanding and unique contribution to the South African mining industry. This award recognises individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the mining industry through their leadership, innovation, and dedication.

His visionary leadership and strategic acumen were instrumental in advancing Harmony Gold into one of the world’s leading gold producers. Swanepoel’s commitment to safety, sustainability, and community development has set new benchmarks for the industry, demonstrating an unwavering dedication to both the environment and the people who work within it.
Mark Munroe, Group Chief Technical Officer of Implats, in his citation said “The Brigadier Stokes Award is a testament to Bernard Swanepoel’s exceptional leadership and contributions to mining and metallurgy, his dedication to advancing the industry and improving standards of practice has made a profound impact, and we are thrilled to honour him with this prestigious award” Munroe concluded.
