Skills Development Building more skilled, productive individuals and teams
• Communication Trainings • Cross – Training between
employees • Leadership Training • Life skills training • First aid training • Incorporate ICT (Innovation
Slide).
The Bogawantalawa Plantation Success
Situation
Rigid hierarchical management system
Low work motivation Poor communication skills of
supervisors Lack of ownership sense among
workers Out-migration for more attractive
employment Frequent strikes over wages and
poor conditions Worker absenteeism as high as 50%
Intervention Strategies
Formation of Self-Managed Groups (5-7 employees) with elected SMG Leaders
Assessment of leadership capabilities of employees through secret ballots
Introduction of a wage system tied to output
Distribution of additional work-safety equipment
Life skills trainings
Creativity and ownership exercises
Results – Increase in Labor Productivity
The Bottom Line…
A positive work environment empowering individuals has been shown to increase productivity and worker satisfaction
Though, in an environment that has a history of discrimination, transparency and consistency are crucial for trust building
Health Care
Increase Health Care Access and Availability
Government intervention Government funding of medical infrastructure Company bears cost of worker’s health care Emphasis on primary care; TB treatment; HIV ARVs
Oversight: Department of Health Yearly inspections Continued monitoring and feedback for infection rates
and work-related injuries
Increase Health Care Access and Availability
Government provides incentives Tax break for successful health programs Worker retention Lowers TB infection rates.
Eliminate loopholes Cannot fire a miner because of illness Miner termination comes with a 6 month pay package
and health costs are covered by company for 18 months.
Detection/prevention of TB and HIV
Enforce mining company responsibility TB and HIV screening as prerequisite for renewing mining license Improved infrastructure of work conditions
Mine ventilation, gas masks
Government Funding and Oversight Government funding of HIV and TB awareness campaigns Private-public partnership of funding housing Oversee company responsibility setting five-year benchmark and ten year
benchmark
Research promotion Transparency of disease incidence of miners Cross-border migration analysis – urban sprawl led to commuting and long-
distance commute from home->work (apartheid laws)
Short-term cost over two years
$900 million medical infrastructure $15 million tax breaks $17.6 million for oversight, awareness, research TOTAL $923 million
Total cost over ten years: $3.1 B

BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH HOUSING
Community Investment by Mines
Royal Bafokeng Nation 150,000 residents High standard of living Quality housing Company-driven
Royal Bafokeng Holdings $2.92bn in holdings Spent $69mn in 2010
for community services
Community-based Investment Funds

Public assistance
Tax Incentives
>10% Administrative
Current Housing Problems
Decreased Productivity Unaccommodating to families Encourages continued migration High levels of TB transmission Housing allowance not effective Lack of urban planning
Community-centered Housing
Present Future
Community-centered Housing
200,000 units for $2bn
Affordable and Cost-effective
1 person per room Family-friendly Public-private funding Integration
Water as a Human Right. S.A. Constitution
Who and What AMD effects? Not only a consumption issue.
Immediate Problems to address with Acid Mine Drainage
Abandoned Mines Prevent Decanting (Over Flow)
Pumping water out
Monitoring current AMD
Where are the immediate areas of concern?
Gauteng Province: •Western Basin •Central Basin •Eastern Basin
Immediate Costs (Years 1-2) (Detailed in Appendix)
Pumping Capital Costs: Pumps: $ 550,000 Pump Installation: $ 920,000
Operating Costs: Running Costs: 2.8 Million dollars per/year = $5.6 Million (2yrs)
Monitoring Costs of Basins Ground water monitors, shaft level monitors, surface water quality
monitoring, surface water monitoring, data compilation. 3.3 million per/year =$ 6.6 Million (2yrs)
TOTAL IMMEDIATE (SHORT TERM) COSTS: $13.7 Million
Med/Long Term Investments
•Medium Term Solution: -Neutralizing Treatment Plants
•Long Term Solutions: -Water Reclamation Plants (e.g. eMalahleni)
Med/Long Term Investment Costs Years (3-10) (Detailed in Appendix)
Neutralization Treatment Plants Capital Costs: $9M per mine/basin Operating Costs: $2.3M per mine/basin per yr 5 years = $20.5M USD per mine/basin
Water Reclamation Plants $35M USD per mining site
TOTAL Med, Long COSTS for 14 Mining Sites: $780M USD for years 3-10
TOTAL Short, Med, Long COSTS: Approximately $800M USD over 10 years
Stakeholders: NGOs, Gov’t, Companies
Opportunity for South Africa
In Gauteng Province by 2015, water demand will outstrip supply.
eMalahleni water
reclamation plant produces 24 Million Liters of potable water a day.

Appendix: Housing Goals
Case Study – Upgrading of South African AngloGold Ashanti residences (2008) “The key objectives for the near future are for AngloGold Ashanti to: speed up home ownership by constantly improving or redevelopment
of new Home Ownership Models; increase formalisation; initiate community re-integration programmes; manage the rising demand for residences; and enter into joint ventures with public and private partners in an
attempt to source sufficient accommodation for its employees.” http://www.anglogold.com/subwebs/informationforinvestors/reports08/ReportToSociety08/f/upgrading_AGA_res.pdf
Appendix: Housing Strategy Encourage and fund housing developments that are affordable, safe, and lower costs of social services. Formal urban planning lacks in many mining towns. Many
miners choose to build informal housing, using the housing allowance for other needs. Promote family dynamic, curbing negative effects of familial isolation.
Implementation type: Public-private partnership. For some mines, public will take full responsibility. For others, private required to do more in order to reach Integrated Development Plan of community.
Time Frame: Begin needs assessment immediately. Within 6 months begin design. First wave of construction starts in Year 3. Second wave starts Year 8.
Feasibility: Firms such as Affordable Living Solutions Africa already begun building in mining communities housing designed for individuals that make $170-$1,700 per month. AngloGold Ashanti admits one of key priorities is to “enter into joint ventures with public and private partners in an attempt to source sufficient accommodation for its employees.”
Limitation: Difficult to prevent workers from living in informal housing.
Examples: Lonmin is already working to convert hostels to single and family units Multiple mines have stated 1 person per room as goal (Lonmin, Anglogold Ashanti) Anglogold Ashanti provides $137 monthly housing allowance
Innovation: Miners permitted to use housing allowance on already subsidized government-sponsored housing. Provide tax incentives for private sector development.

Appendix: Community Investment Strategy Portion of profits can be used for mini sovereign wealth fund, but unlike RBN, an elected local
board should decide on allotment. Limit administration cut to under 10%, not 25% of RBN.
Implementation type: Company, possible gov’t partnership Time Frame: Effective immediately. Provides funding for other interventions we discuss. Feasibility: Many companies already spend millions for community development. This provides more structured model. Limitation: How much local power you want to give over funding provided by government. Given power to local authorities on how funding is used may lead to corruption/mismanagement Examples: Royal Bafokeng Holdings Anglogold Ashanti - only $3.2mn in 2010 (http://www.anglogoldashanti.co.za/subwebs/InformationForInvestors/Reports10/supplementary-information/communities-community-investment.htm) Lonmin - about $4mn in 2011 (https://www.lonmin.com/Lonmin_Annual_Report_2011/Root/business_review/sustainability_review/key_sustainability_performance_statistics.html) Innovation: Government supplements company’s contribution to fund. Provides tax incentives (i.e. no taxes on profits that are contributed to fund)
