Gold mine reopens using ex-illegal zama zamas as workforce

Gold mining company Birrell Mining International has reopened the recently acquired Bosveld Mining’s Klipwal Gold Mine in KwaZulu-Natal, the company said on Monday.   Birrell completed the purchase of Bosveld Mines from Stonewall Mining earlier this year, after having been responsible for the care-and-maintenance programme since early 2016. The transaction retains the black economic empowerment (BEE) ownership structure of 26% being owned by predominantly community-based BEE partners.
