COVID-19 production impacts offset by higher gold price, selling down of inventory
29 April 2020
In just its first few days of operation, The MSE Initiative – launched by DRDGOLD Limited with Umsizi Sustainable Social Solutions and Impophomo Rushing Waters to bring emergency relief to those most in need in the face of COVID-19 – has delivered relief packages to more than 500 households in communities in Ekhuruleni. In the next few days, relief packages will be distributed in DRDGOLD’s other host communities: 200 in Merafong and 100 in Soweto and surrounds. The launching partners intend The MSE Initiative to be collaborative in orientation and invite other companies – particularly those also based in and around Merafong, Soweto and surrounds and Ekurhuleni to join forces with them.

Miner cautious about perceived ambiguity in fluid regulations on phased restart of operations
DRDGOLD, one of the world’s biggest gold-tailings retreatment operators, has no intention of “going hell for leather” in ramping up its business, despite the easing of restrictions for the mining sector in SA’s five-week lockdown.
DRDGOLD’s corporate office has found a new home in Constantia Office Park in Weltevreden Park, west of Johannesburg:

Gender-based violence and abuse of women is a national crisis in South Africa. Women, especially in mining communities, are often disempowered. DRDGOLD supports the call by the Minerals Council South Africa (MCSA) to stop the abuse of women in mining communities and our country as a whole.
The Minerals Council’s initiative launched on 8 March 2020 in support of International Women’s Day.
The subject of abuse is difficult for victims to raise, and often there is also a lack of understanding of what constitutes unacceptable behaviour by both men and women. Abuse can range from coercion to verbal harassment and physical violence.
Abuse of women is often unreported or unresolved. By creating effective mechanisms for safe and sensitive reporting, we can help give victims a voice. We want to encourage men and women to recognise abuse and to stand up against abusive behaviour.
Some 20% of DRDGOLD’s workforce is comprised of women. This is a far higher percentage than that of any other South African mining company, and therefore our duty to ensure the physical and emotional safety of all women is all the more a priority for us.
