Mining CSI

Mining CSI is a communication platform for mining companies to showcase the success stories and the good work they do within their communities. Mining companies contribute millions of rand every year to these communities as part of their Social & labour Plans (SLP’s) commitments, including Local Economic Development (LED’s) bursaries, health, housing and schools. However, many South Africans are not aware of these enormous contributions. Mining CSI is also a proud partner of Annual Mining Indaba. The Department of Minerals and Resources (DMR) has raised concerns around Local Economic Development (LED) programmes of mining companies, and just how much - or how little, in their eyes - these corporates are devoting to economically and socially empowering South African communities where mining operations take place. While some of these concerns may be justified, this is largely a misconception, primarily because of a lack of exposure regarding the initiatives in which these mining companies are involved, and just how much of a financial injection they are actually making. The magazine is distributed at Mining Indaba annually, Joburg Indaba and Junior Indaba, Mining Companies, DMR Offices, Local Municipalities, Mining Future Forums and mining communities. A minimum of 100 copies are also given to clients to distribute to their stakeholders and communities.
