In this episode, TDi’s CEO Assheton Stewart Carter talks to three representatives from different parts of the mining industry, who all spoke at the 2025 Mining Indaba in Cape Town, on future-proofing African mining communities.
The panelists are:
Marna Cloete, President and CEO of Ivanhoe Mines
Glen Mpufane, Mining Director at IndustriALL Global Union
David Sturmes, Co-founder and Director of Partnerships and Innovations at The Impact Facility
The speakers discuss how to ensure that economic benefits from the current African mining boom reach the communities that neighbour mining projects – and what happens to these communities once mines are closed – what is the long-term legacy of mining for these communities?
