South32 Mozambique smelter wind-down to impact jobs, potentially Eskom
Australian diversified miner South32 has confirmed that its Mozal aluminium smelter, in Mozambique, will be put into care and maintenance in March. “As announced in December 2025, Mozal aluminium will transition to care and maintenance in March 2026 due to the inability to secure sufficient and affordable electricity supply. We are working closely with our people and stakeholders through this change,” CEO Graham Kerr said in a presentation for the six months ended December 31, 2025.
