Question NW2033 to the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy
06 June 2022 - NW2033
Madokwe, Ms P to ask the Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy
In light of the fact that discussions in the Mining Indaba emphasised the need for his department to crack the whip and deliver on a number of mandates in relation to the mining and energy crisis the Republic is faced with, and notwithstanding the plans his department already had to stabilise the embattled but crucial entities, what (a) new information has he received from the Mining Indaba that he will now be considering and (b) are the timelines for delivering?

Reply:
a) Mining Indaba is a conference like any other, the Department does not derive its mandate from it.
b) All issues raised at different platforms, including mining indaba are dealt with in line with the Department’s mandate and in accordance with the annual performance plan.
