Read our latest Afrimatters Magazine online, here! Message from our CEO, Andries Van Heerden: "During this time of the year, I usually reflect on the months that have already passed, while eagerly anticipating the possibilities that still lie ahead of us in the months that remain before we reach December. 2024 has certainly presented us with many challenges thus far, but we have many blessings to count. In April, we welcomed hundreds of new colleagues to the Afrimat team through the Lafarge acquisition. In May, we delivered the best set of financial results in Afrimat’s history, and in June, we presented our second ESG Report, which truly showcased our commitment to achieving excellence through integrity. None of this would have been possible without the active participation and commitment of every Afrimatter, and I wish to thank you all for your positive contributions to the Group’s overall success, thus far. We have the opportunity to make a tremendous success of the next few months before the holiday season. In true Afrimat spirit, let’s take the bull by the horns, and as a team, work together to achieve the best results we possibly can." https://lnkd.in/dn8Ng7Bg #Leadership #Teamwork #Positivity #CompanyCulture #Resilience #Mining #Construction

Overall fun day for Afrimat Mining Services. On the 13th of July Afrimat Mining Services sponsored hole no 8 at the Malalane NG Church Golf Day.

Afrimat Mining Services is proud to celebrate a new blasting record achieved at our Nkomati Anthracite operation in May 2024! Our team successfully blasted a whopping 257,296m3, shattering not only Nkomati's previous record but also setting a new record for the entire Afrimat company. This was achieved by using shock-tube initiation and AECI explosives, with a total of 227,131kg used at 0.88 powder factor. The four-day charging process was executed flawlessly, ensuring the blast met our rigorous fragmentation standards without compromise. At Afrimat Mining Services, we take every opportunity to challenge ourselves and set new benchmarks, all while prioritising safety and precision. Congratulations to our blasting team Albert Mathebula and Goodwill Thwala!   #Mining #Blasting #NewRecord #MiningServices

At Afrimat, we understand the importance of being a responsible corporate citizen. This commitment goes beyond just our bottom line – it permeates every facet of our operations, from the boardroom to the reclamation of mined land. We are firm believers that responsible mining practices and operational efficiency go hand in hand, and we achieve throughout our value chain: ✅ Governance: Strong corporate governance starts at the top. Our board ensures all mining projects adhere to the highest ethical and environmental standards. ✅ Application Process: We meticulously follow all regulatory requirements, conducting thorough environmental and social impact assessments. ✅ Transparency: We actively engage with communities through open and transparent public participation processes. ✅ Permits and Approvals: We secure all necessary permits and approvals from relevant authorities before commencing any mining activity. ✅ Sustainable Mining: Our mining processes prioritise efficiency, minimising waste and environmental impact. This includes responsible blasting techniques, optimised load-and-haul operations, and advanced crushing and screening technologies. ✅ Responsible Mining: during mining, we constantly audit the operations to ensure optimal use of mineral resources and environmental compliance with all approval conditions. Furthermore, during mining we engage with communities to ensure any collaboration is in line with specific community needs. ✅ Rehabilitation: We are committed to leaving a lasting positive impact. Our rehabilitation plans ensure mined land is returned to a productive state as far as possible. ✅ Financial Closure: We take full responsibility for the post-mining environment, with clear financial provisions for complete site closure. By prioritising efficiency alongside responsibility, we are not only a leading mining group but, also aim to ensure sustainable practices. We are proud to contribute to South Africa's economic growth while mining responsibly to ensure a sustainable environment for generations to come. #Mining #Sustainability #ResponsibleCorporateCitizenship
