itself but the local mining industry as a collective.
The announcement comes amid a renewed sense of urgency
amongst industry and government to address the lack of high level,
scarce skills in the country. The slow supply of graduates is
compounded by the departure of established mining engineers and
senior technical staff due to emigration and retirement.
