Formalisation of ASM sector remains significant challenge – WMI director
While there has been noticeable progress in improving conditions in the artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) sector in South Africa in recent years, Wits Mining Institute (WMI) director Dr Pontsho Twala said the sector is still beset with challenges. Formalisation of the ASM sector, in particular, remains a challenge, she pointed out during the March 26 launch of the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining Research Forum, a new monthly seminar series and a partnership between the WMI and the Society, Work and Politics Institute (SWOP).
