Quarry industry supports Mantashe
Surface mining industry association Aspasa has come out in full support of new Mineral Resources Minister Gwede Mantashe , with a renewed commitment to work with the department to advance mining in South Africa .
While the association enjoys an excellent relationship with the Department of Mineral Resources and other stakeholders like the Minerals Council South Africa , organised labour , and other industry bodies , developments under former
Minister Mosebenzi Zwane had somewhat strained relationships with allegations of unfair and biased practices .
“ We look forward to a new era of prosperity under Minister Mantashe and hold him in the highest regard , while trusting that his moral compass will lead the industry on a new path of growth and development . At the same time , however , we will continue to stand for just practices and a level playing field to ensure that the surface mining sector remains profitable
Aspasa and is able to grow sustainably while not being impeded by unfair or onerous legislation and requirements imposed by government ,” says Aspasa director , Nico Pienaar .
Nico Pienaar of Aspasa says the association welcomes the appointment of Gwede Mantashe as the new minister of mineral resources .
