Roger Baxter, Minerals Council SA CEO, said a total of 203,007 people have been immunised — about 45% of their workforce — with 49% now fully vaccinated. , the National Union of Mineworkers , Solidarity, and Uasa played a major role in helping reach this target.
Companies have started to expand their programmes, to vaccinate employees’ dependants and community members too, either at company sites or by supporting neighbouring facilities, Baxter said.
