WOMEN'S START-UP--One-time Soweto rioter kicking up a storm at Kalagadi manganese mine, sinter, alloy project

摘要

Hotazel, Northern Cape -A former Soweto rioter is kicking up a beneficiation storm in South Africa's dusty Kalahari manganese field. Daphne Mashile-Nkosi, who was in the thick of it when students went on the rampage for better education on that historic June 16, 1976, day in Soweto, is currently more than halfway through the mining and sintering segment of an integrated project at an overall capital cost of R11-billion, which also includes a planned, but still not contracted, ferromanganese smelter at the Coega industrial development zone at the deep-water Ngqura port, near Port Elizabeth.
