Skills Decimator?--Nationalisation will strip South Africa of remaining mining skills, says Gold Fields CEO

摘要

If South Africa nationalises its mining industry, it will be stripped of its remaining mining skills, says Gold Fields CEO Nick Holland. He says that international resources companies already see South Africa as a fertile hunting ground for the recruitment of miners. "We're already short of skills on our operations and, if you nationalise the operations, you'll have a significant exodus of the remaining skills that we do have, and I'm not too sure where you are going to get the skills then to run mines," he adds.
