South Deep supports the annual National Day of Health and Safety in Mining, the third instalment of which was launched by the Minerals Council on 17 July 2020, to be observed over the coming several weeks.

At South Deep, our goal of achieving Zero Harm takes on even more meaning during COVID-19, making this year’s theme for the National Day “stay safe and healthy, at home and at work” something we are even more aware of.

This yearly commemoration is intended to demonstrate and support the mining industry’s recommitment to the shared imperative of Zero Harm, under the Khumbul’ekhaya strategy.

Khumbul’ekhaya means remember home, and that is what we must do in every action we take, at work and at home, remembering that each person is important and valued, and that the impact of an illness or accident has its biggest impact on those we love at home.

Mining company leaders bring their voice to this campaign each year. Follow the link below to view South Deep VP Martin Preece's video message in support of the campaign in 2020.
