This year’s Investing in African Mining Indaba, to be held in Cape
Town from 9-12 February, is taking place against the backdrop of
a South African – and indeed global – mining industry in severe
trouble. The organisers are nevertheless expecting at least 7 000
delegates from over 100 countries to attend the event which will be
addressed by an array of top speakers, including former UK Prime
Minister Tony Blair. This year’s Mining Indaba, the 21st in the series,
is the first to be held under the aegis of the event’s new owners,
Euromoney Institutional Investor plc.
