The Mayor , Cllr Johannes Roman and the Speaker, Cllr. Goitseone Sekgopi and the Directorate of Town Planning & Developed, Finance and Office of the Municipal Manager joined the Khumani Team in the engagements with the local business forums.
The session was a follow up round table discussions that took place in March 2023 and could not conclude the presentation due to unforeseen circumstances.
The presentation was to take the stakeholder through on what the mine does and has done particularly in the area of supply and enterprise development including some commitments made in terms of social and labour plan as prescribed by the laws in the Republic.
The mayor in his opening remarks strongly called for immediate action on enterprise and SMMEs development, as an attempt to enable our local businesses to play a meaningful role in the mainstream economy.
One of the local SMMEs, Mr. Mathews from Pro-Safe also thanked Khumani for what they do and appreciate their intervention in developing some of the local community companies through their enterprise model. Khumani mine further committed to work with all stakeholders as part of their mandate and they are pleased to work with the municipality as the authority.
