As a membership body, our success and effectiveness are based on more than the sum of our parts – we know that our collective representations to and engagements with government and other stakeholders will carry more weight when we speak and act as a group.

These include Business Unity South Africa (BUSA), the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac), the Mine Health and Safety Council (MHSC), the Mining Qualifications Authority (MQA), the Presidential Climate Change Commission, the various Presidential and governmental task teams on crisis issues (such as the National Energy Crisis Committee (NECOM)) and the Universities South Africa Board of Directors and relevant advisory structures. We are a member of the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM) and the Mining Industry Association of Southern Africa (MIASA), and we support the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) and FutureCoal.
Our management team consists of leading industry professionals, who enjoy the confidence and respect of the policy-making community and who drive our agenda and mandates in several areas.
