South Africa's mining companies will support government in the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines as the nation battles a surge in infections, the industry body said on Friday.

Mining companies say they are well placed to support the Covid-19 response thanks to decades of experience combating tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS among workers, including the creation of on-site treatment facilities.

The government has called on the private sector, including miners, to help with the rollout of vaccines but has not yet outlined exactly how it should assist. “We could probably vaccinate our entire workforce of around 80,000 people in about a week,” said Sibanye spokesperson James Wellsted, adding that talks were ongoing about extending vaccinations to the community.

Higher precious metals prices, including a surge in gold and rhodium, have made miners flush with cash.
