Anglo American Platinum has drawn applause for its role in the opening of a new pipe factory in job-short Limpopo, which is aimed at sustainably developing the community of Mokopane, where the mining company operates its rich Mogalawena open cast platinum mine.
Anglo American Platinum partnered Africa Pipe Industries in the creation of the black economically empowered Africa Pipe Industries North.
“We applaud Anglo American Platinum,” Limpopo Premier Chupu Mathabatha said when he officially opened the plant with company CEO Chris Griffith, who described the initiative as a local enterprise development project that would create new skills in the community.
