Minerals Council elects Dunne permanent president for next term
The Minerals Council South Africa has, during its 135th AGM on May 28, elected Paul Dunne as its permanent president, converting his “caretaker” role as acting president to that of a permanent nature.
“Paul, we look forward to the continued collaboration with you and our team of office bearers, who have all been reappointed for a second consecutive year,” said Minerals Council CEO Mzila Mthenjane.
VPs including Themba Mkhwanazi, Richard Stewart and Mpumi Zikalala were also re-elected to continue in their roles.
“Your [Mkhwanazi’s, Stewart’s and Zikalala’s] advice, guidance and support have been invaluable during a busy and interesting 2024/25 term and we look forward to continuing to work together in that spirit this forthcoming term,” noted Mthenjane.
He added that, going forward, the Minerals Council would further its advocacy for an enabling mining legislation and an investment-friendly environment, starting with a review of the draft Mineral Resources Development Bill, which was gazetted for public comment last week.
“Our initial assessment is that, while there are some positive proposed changes, overall, the proposed amendments will not help us contribute to the apex priority of economic growth and job creation as established by President Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address, post the formation of the Government of National Unity,” said Mthenjane.
As a result, he added that the Minerals Council South Africa would “robustly” engage with Mineral and Petroleum Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe and his team to provide council inputs.
“We have a vested interest in contributing to a market- and investor-friendly legislation that stimulates positive sentiment that will lead to investment in and growth of the South African mining industry,” noted Mthenjane.
