Mining company, Sibanye-Stillwater, says it could restart limited mining at its South African operations after a nationwide lockdown to stem the spread of the coronavirus brought the mining industry to a standstill. The company, on Monday, said the South African government had given it approval for limited mining and processing from April 14. It is the first sign restrictions on one of the country’s most critical industries could be eased. Sibanye-Stillwater, like other miners, placed its operations in South Africa on care and maintenance. This means they are kept in a condition to reopen in future, in March when a three-week lockdown was announced.  The company also says its board and executive management would donate one third of their salary to coronavirus relief efforts for the next three months. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/newscast-africa/support Learn more about your ad choices.
