Lets hope the new Minister actually walks the talk.
Excerpts from his address to the National Council of Provinces last week.
Policy update
"We have recently concluded country-wide community consultations on the Mining Charter.
We are encouraged by the positive contributions made, both written and verbal, that have been invaluable. We will soon host a Summit to present the draft Charter before it is taken through the relevant Cabinet processes and gazetted."
"The Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Amendment Bill has been tabled before the NCOP for processing. We appeal to Members of this House to assist in prioritising the finalisation of this Bill.
This is important because, together with the gazetting of the Mining Charter, enacting it will go a long way to contributing to policy and regulatory certainty."
