Welcome to Creamer Media’s Resources Watch, a weekly video round-up of the events and people making and shaping the news in the mining industry.

This week:

The Revolutionary Mining Charter is irrational and divisive
And, Illegal mining a substantial burden on South African economy, warns Sibanye

On June 15, 2017, the Mineral Resources Minister announced the birth of the Reviewed Broad-Based Economic Empowerment Charter for the Mining Industry. Mining lawyer Jacinto Rocha says that the Minister failed to notice that due to complications during the birth process, the Mining Charter was born dead.
