  Industry, as mandated by the President
• The Stakeholders are
• Government
• Labour (NUM, AMCU, UASA and Solidarity, supported
  by their Federations COSATU, NACTU and FEDUSA)
• Business Chamber of Mines (CoM) and South
  African Mining Development Association (SAMDA)

  mineworkers
• Providing short to medium term measures to
  support growth and stability

IMC for the Revitalisation of Distressed Mining
Communities

• In late 2012, an Inter Ministerial Committee for
  the Revitalisation of Distressed Mining
  Communities was established to address Part 3 of
  the Social Accord (SPP) Addressing
  socio-economic challenges in mining districts and
  their labour sending areas. The IMC has focused
  on
• Integrated and sustainable human settlements, led
  by the DHS and supported by its agencies, e.g.
  NHFC, HDA
• Improved socio-economic conditions, led by DCoG,
  Dept. of Traditional Affairs, DRDLR and supported
  by DTI, EDD, Treasury, DBSA, SALGA, IDC, MISA
• Improved working conditions of mine workers led
  by DoL
• Decent living conditions for mine workers and
  meaningful contribution to the development
  trajectory of mining towns and labour sending
  areas, led by DMR

Fourteen priority mining towns for the
Revitalisation of Distressed Mining Communities

• Fourteen mining areas in five provinces and their
  associated labour sending areas have been
  prioritised for the revitalisation of distressed
  mining communities

10
Complementing mandates

• Other complementing forums
• The Mining Industry Growth Development and
  Employment Task Team (MIGDETT) is constituted by
  DMR, organised labour, SAMDA and the Chamber of
  Mines and deals with matters related to managing
  the negative effects of the global economic
  crisis, sustainable growth and meaningful
  transformation of the South African mining sector
  including
• Mine health and safety

3.2. Challenges Improving living and working
conditions of mineworkers (1)

• Due to the limited time and research project
  budget, the research on Migrant Labour system
  concentrated only on migration from within South
  Africa
• The mining industry has not fully played its role
  in the compensation of mineworkers in relation to
  occupational diseases
• Whereas safety performance is improving,
  occupational health such as TB and Silicosis of
  mine workers is a national emergency
• Multi National Mining Companies have differential
  health and safety standards in developed and
  developing world (sub standards)
• Inadequate coordination of human settlement
  planning in mining towns
• Lack of bulk infrastructure in certain mining
  municipalities remains a challenge
• Informal settlements tend to mushroom proximate
  to mining operations

32
3.2. Challenges Improving living and working
conditions of mineworkers (2)

• Informal settlements often located on tribal or
  privately owned land
• Miners do not qualify for governments full
  subsidy housing programme
• Many mining companies have reached agreements
  with unions to pay a living out allowance
  largely not used for decent housing and has led
  to many miners living in terrible conditions in
  backyards/informal settlements
• High levels of indebtedness amongst miners
• The plight of women in mining towns and labour
  sending areas is a characterised by high levels
  of unemployment, poverty and violence against
  women
