In full support of President Cyril Ramaphosa's plans to mitigate the impact of Covid-19, mining investment company Menar has suspended all mining operations.
"We support all efforts to enforce social distancing, including confining most people to their homes to prevent social and nonessential business activities from midnight on Thursday, March 26, until Thursday, April 16," states Menar MD Vuslat Bayoglu.
Menar's subsidiaries include mining and exploration companies. They are Canyon Coal, with operations in Mpumalanga and Gauteng; Zululand Anthracite Colliery in KwaZulu-Natal; and Kangra, in Mpumalanga.
"The health and safety of our employees is our top priority. We have, therefore, commenced procedures to place all Menar group mines, opencast and underground, as well as our processing plants on care and maintenance," Bayoglu said.
