Watch the video

We are Glencore, one of the world’s largest globally diversified natural resource companies. Our presence in South Africa dates to 1974, when our marketing activities began. Mining started 14 years later, in 1988, and today we are among the largest producers of coal and ferroalloys in the country.

We are a major contributor not only to South Africa’s local, provincial and national economies, but also to the development of the communities where we operate. We collaborate closely with our communities, prioritising their health, safety and well-being and working to create strong and resilient societies that will thrive long after our operations close.
