Our CEO Andries Van Heerden spoke to Alec Hogg on BizNews yesterday, following the release of Afrimat's trading statement. Have a listen to the full interview on YouTube. Key message: Andries vH: "It's been an extremely challenging first half of the year. It was the perfect storm with 3 blows that hit us at once: 🔹 Arcelor Mittal, one of our big customers on our domestic sales of iron ore, had a freeze of 2 of their kilns, and we lost quite a significant amount of sales. 🔹 On the export line we saw a deterioration in the volumes that Transnet could transport for us, and at the same time we saw the international iron ore price retracting by 25% and the Rand strengthening; 🔹 With our Lafarge acquisition, the cement business was in a really bad state when we took over and we've been making losses for the first couple of months, ➡ which is now starting to turn. ✅ The market can see this. ✅ On the Mittal side, we've seen the correction and the volume is back, and ✅ on the cement side, we've made very good progress and we're expecting that turn to happen, if not this month, then next month. ✅ On the export side on the back of the Chinese economy recovery, we've seen a recovery in the iron ore price. ✅ There is a lot of potential in the Lafarge business. We've put the best people we could lay our hands on in this business. I'm happy that the team is making good progress and that we will see this business return to its former glory. ✅ On the cement side, we're also operating a limestone mine outside of town which has a big impact on the community in terms of jobs and what we are planning in terms of our upliftment of the community in line with our normal Social and Labour Plans. It is quite important for us, from a Lichtenburg perspective, to return this business to its former glory. We are aiming for a proper improvement in the new financial year. ✅ I share the sentiment of excitement on the GNU. Business confidence is improving. Job creation is going to happen in the real economy where we can get businesses to perform to their full potential, and that just sucks people in. ✅Pertaining to the Lafarge acquisition, I think me and my team are just by nature very positive and optimistic. We knew the potential and that is what we do. We buy businesses that are underperforming and we buy them at a reasonable price and we turn them around. I am quite hopeful that the team will achieve that again." https://lnkd.in/eJGrfCxB Keyter Rech Investor Solutions JSE #GNU #BusinessConfidence #Leadership #InvestingNews #Mining #Construction

Afrimat’s team from our Tongaat Readymix plant near Durban recently supplied over 200 cubes of readymix concrete for the construction of the Ndwedwe Sonkombo Bridge. The Ndwedwe bridge was damaged during severe storms earlier this year. Crossing between the Tongaat and Tugela Rivers, the bridge improves rural mobility and aids in providing a safer and more efficient pathway for pedestrians and motorists. #ConstructionMaterials #InfrastructureDevelopment #Aggregates #Concrete #BuildingSustainableFutures

This morning, Afrimat CEO Andries Van Heerden shared valuable insights at the Resources for Africa panel discussion on "How do we grow the mining industry?" Van Heerden emphasised the critical role of Junior Miners in creating jobs and fostering economic growth in South Africa and highlighted the opportunities for smaller mining houses to contribute significantly without the need for massive capital investments. To fully realise this potential, van Heerden stressed the importance of addressing challenges in logistics and creating a more business-friendly regulatory environment. #joburgindaba #mining #jobcreation #economicgrowth

"Another core holding would be Afrimat (R65.09). The diversified miner has long been a favourite and its top-class management team are superb capital allocators. But weak iron ore prices and delays in implementing the Lafarge aggregate and cement acquisition will hit the company’s forthcoming results. This has softened the share price from recent highs. I’d wait for the interim results in October and on any further weakness would absolutely tuck some shares away. Prospects within Nkomati Anthracite, an enlarged construction materials business via Lafarge, a recovery in cement from innovation and disruption and other growth initiatives will pare the current dominance of what has been a hugely profitable iron ore business." - Anthony Clark, The Financial Mail ZA https://lnkd.in/dzUXNfiu #StockMarket #InvestingNews #BusinessNews #Mining #Construction
ANTHONY CLARK: I’d roll the dice on these five stocks
