Experts to deliberate on ways to improve mining, manufacturing interface
A high-level meeting will be convened towards the end of August at which experts will delibe- rate on how the interface between mining and manufacturing could be strengthened to support further industrialisation and job creation.
The gathering is being cohosted by the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the Institute for African Alternatives (IFAA).
It will take place on August 22 at the IDC’s auditorium, which is located at its office complex in Sandton.
IFAA chairperson Professor Ben Turok, who is also an African National Congress veteran and a Member of Parliament, says the meeting will bring together experts to provide input on how the prevailing constraints to the interface between mining and manufacturing could be overcome.
Participants will be drawn from mining, manu- facturing, business, government, labour and aca- demia, with the intention of building on a previous consultation that focused on beneficiation and took place in October last year.
“That meeting established a valuable platform for further consideration of this much underappreciated issue,” Turok avers.
He says the purpose of the August meeting is to examine the knowledge gap between the existing capacity in the country and the application of that capacity to transform the economy. It will also include a debate on the practical implementation of government policies in respect of beneficiation.
