Mines renew urgent calls for independent power in SA
--:--
Mining production has fallen nearly 3% in October marking the third consecutive month of declines. The sector was also the biggest drag on the economy in the third quarter and Eskom's load shedding only exacerbates the situation. Miners were forced to cut production due to power cuts this week and are now calling on government to grant them permission to set up independent power sources. James Wellsted from Sibanye-Stillwater spoke to Business Day TV about the situation.
