I am happy to say that the Department has responded in a most appropriate manner with regard to the mine disasters at Rovic Diamonds, Middelbult Colliery and at Deelkraal Gold Mine In my capacity as Minister of Minerals and Energy I directed that inquiries be held in terms of the Mine Health and Safety Act.
The Directors-General responsible for the Governance and Administration Cluster of Government will brief the media on the progress made with regard to the implementation of departmental programmes. The briefing will be chaired by the Director-General for the Public and Administration, Prof Richard Levin.
