Comparative ranking of coalfields inside and outside South Africa on exploration level, resource size and infrastructure, for companies deciding where to explore next.

What this report found

A rating and ranking system was applied to South African coalfields and, separately, to the coal bearing countries elsewhere in the Southern African Development Community. The Waterberg ranked highest in South Africa and is the coalfield most worth detailed investigation as Witbank output declines. Botswana ranked highest among the other member states on contained resources and exploitation potential.

What this report found

Three modes of intervention were found in coal company procurement: preferential procurement rules, segmentation of goods and services by suitability for transformation, and support programmes for small suppliers. Progress stalled where supplier development was handled by staff carrying other duties, since work not tied to production loses time and has no target. The remedy proposed is procurement targets linked down through commercial and production management.
