The COALSAFE conference has become an annual highlight on the HSEC calendar, and this
year saw the first HYBRID event.

The theme for 2022 is SUSTAINABLE MINING SUSTAINS US ALL. After a turbulent two years,
dealing with the economic challenges during the covid19 pandemic, sustainability in all
aspects of mining has become our driving force.

Social, economic, and natural factors have had a huge impact on our everyday lives at both a
local and a global level. In striving towards our 2022 theme, our commitment and dedication
towards our people, the communities we operate in, and the environment enjoys huge
attention.

Safety, Occupational Health, Environment and Community (HSEC) standards are still at the
top of the agenda and the annual HSEC Awards Ceremony for 2021 top achievers was again
the highlight of the day!

The COALSAFE event was held on the 5 of April at Emperors Palace. The event was
attended by our own Managing Director Support Services, Jacqualine Maimela. She also
represented our yellow badge in presenting the Zizwe sponsored award for the Social
Development category.

What also inspired her was the Coal for Hope initiative which started as a SACMA “Feed the
Miner” campaign to assist the Optimum Miners during the challenging time they went
through when the mine closed. Since then, they had numerous successful initiatives and in
2022, they call on donations and support to equal or better the funds raised previously.

“All of us must take responsibility for the upliftment of our conditions,
“What stood out to me was the collaborative efforts
prepared to give our best to the benefit of all” - Nelson Mandela

power of relationships,” says Jacqualine, “these efforts
