Bi Annual Stakeholder Breakfast for Dwarsrivier Chrome Mine STAKEHOLDERS and senior members of the Sekhukhune and Greater Tubatse Municipalities attended the Dwarsrivier Mine Assmang Chrome’s breakfast. It was held on 15 February at Didingwe River Lodge. Mr Francois Uys, General Manager of Dwarsrivier Chrome Mine, said: “as senior manager of this mine it is important that I share with members of a broader society what is happening on the mine and how the mine plans to respond to social challenges. I wish to emphasize that all our stakeholders are important to this organisation and so are the people on whose behalf we are having this function. I am particularly proud of the new enterprise opportunities that we have unlocked over the past 18 months for our
local communities. The holding of hands between Local Government and other sector departments can only make the future brighter. The appointment of the Project Manager for Key Focus areas (water, roads electrification and human resources development) will unlock development potential in this region. This is as a result of us working and engaging even when the chips are down.” Dwarsrivier is an Assmang operation that is managed by African Rainbow Minerals and Assore. Some of the points on the agenda were charities who were donated to in 2011, infrastructure development, employment strategy, job creation, underground road infrastructure, waste rock crushing project, employee transportation and road transport of ore.
