From hopes of turning South Africa into “Africa’s Switzerland” to fears over China’s mega mine in Guinea, mining veteran Peter Major joins Alec Hogg for a fiery Miningweb Weekly. They unpack how the Reserve Bank’s bold 3% inflation target could reshape mining, why Eskom and Transnet remain the industry’s biggest shackles, and how China’s iron ore play may threaten Kumba and South Africa’s competitiveness.
