President Jacob Zuma will on Tuesday convene a meeting of the Mining Sector National Consultative Forum in Pretoria‚ the Presidency said.

It said the forum‚ chaired by the President‚ brings together government‚ organised labour and organised business to discuss developments in the mining sector.

The forum was established in 2013 to implement a framework agreement for a sustainable mining industry following the violence that erupted in the platinum belt in 2012‚ including the tragic Marikana killings between 10 and 16 August 2012 and beyond.

“The framework agreement for a sustainable mining industry is a joint commitment by all stakeholders to bring stability‚ growth and transformation in South Africa’s mining industry‚” the presidency added in a statement.
