In 2017 the mining sector contributed over 12% to our GDP, and it is expected that by 2022 the mining sector’s share of the GDP will exceed 152%. This high contribution to our economy suggests that for the foreseeable future, the economy will be dominated by the mining sector. Given the impact the mining sector has on the economy, it goes without saying that we need to take good care of the sector. We need to be pragmatic in the management of the sector.
