Coal power is indispensable to reversing the overwhelming decline of South Africa’s alloys industry, which has resulted in massive job losses.

Mining and emerging ferromanganese group Menar has secured conditional access to operate on parts of the Transnet railway network.

With Artificial Intelligence (AI) expected to drive electricity demand exponentially, the world needs to reimagine coal power and not discard it.

Khwelamet has assumed sole ownership of Samancor’s Metalloys manganese alloy smelter complex in Gauteng, South Africa.

In collaboration with its partners, Menar raised over a half a million rands through its Golf Day event to support projects focused on improving lives and creating lasting change.

Menar hopes to strengthen its participation in the anthracite market by adding the KwaZulu-Natal-based Springlake Colliery to its portfolio.

South Africa is on the cusp of reviving its ferroalloys industry, but its progress depends on several reforms, including affordable electricity and fixing the country's logistics bottlenecks.
