The Eastern Cape province of South Africa will host its 3rd Annual Mining CSI Indaba from 30th to 31st October 2025 in the city of East London. The 2025 Indaba aims to catalyse sustainable development by promoting the entire mining service value chain, from exploration to beneficiation, while leveraging the province’s geographic location, skills base, and infrastructure potential.

Organisers say this year’s theme, “Unlocking the Full Mining Value Chain for Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development,” reflects the province’s bold vision to harness its untapped mineral and human capital potential through integrated, community-driven, and future-focused approaches.

Thami Ngubeni spoke to Nosiphiwo Mzamo, Chief Executive Officer of the State Diamond Trader.
