2026 Agenda Sessions
A new chapter in South Africa, and Africa’s, legal landscape
South Africa’s mining industry is navigating a period of significant legal evolution, from amendments to environmental legislation and the Mine Health and Safety Act, to proposed amendments to the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act. WHAT IF mining communities could proactively adapt to changing regulatory environments? WHAT IF industry engagement and collaboration was the status quo? Legislative change would remain practical and investor-friendly while growth and development imperatives were still prioritised.
