Gold mining in South Africa
South Africa has produced over 50,000 tonnes of gold since mining began in the Witwatersrand Basin in 1886 — more than any other country in history. Today the country operates some of the world's deepest gold mines, reaching over 4km below surface at operations like Mponeng (AngloGold Ashanti) and South Deep (Gold Fields). Major gold producers include Sibanye-Stillwater, Gold Fields, AngloGold Ashanti, and Harmony Gold. Operations are concentrated in the Free State, Gauteng (Carletonville), and North West (Klerksdorp) goldfields, with active mines also in Mpumalanga and the Northern Cape. Bhala Industries supports gold mining operations and their contractors across the procurement, operations, and compliance spectrum.
