South Africa must go all out to get the very best out of its rich natural resources

While South Africa is well-endowed with minerals, the full potential of these minerals is no longer being achieved. At best, their contribution is flat, which makes the call by the far-thinking PyroFuZA initiative something that needs to be heeded. PyroFuZA spells out that all South Africans will benefit significantly if distinctive steps are taken to get the very best out of our natural resources. PyroFuZA is correct to be insistent that South Africa's minerals energy complex can be effectively reformed if there is a strong collective will to do so. Proper public-private partnership will provide an enduring outcome and it is incumbent on all of us to push for effective value addition and competitive reindustrialisation.
