Revitalizing South African Communities: The Northam SLP Project and Mining’s New Social Contract

by

The Northam Social and Labour Plan (SLP) project is changing South African mining by focusing on the people, not just profits. After a long history of hardship and unfair treatment, mining companies now invest in local schools, health, and infrastructure to help communities grow strong and healthy. The recent Northam project rebuilt schools and provided meals, showing how mining can support education and future opportunities. This new way of working brings hope that mining will build a better future for everyone, not just extract wealth from the land.
