South Deep is fully supportive of the measures announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, and the efforts by government to manage this unprecedented crisis.
Our first priority is to protect the health and safety of our people and communities.
While South Deep, like any other South African business, finds itself in a very challenging situation, we recognise that we have a broader responsibility to make a positive contribution to combat this pandemic.

The coronavirus pandemic has and will continue to have enormous national consequences. But the real impact will be felt by the employees and communities that sustain our industry. Adjusting to the new “normal” has meant adopting new habits and behaviours for ourselves, our families and our communities. For our country to win against this pandemic, each one of us must continue to protect ourselves and others by changing our habits.
We thank our employees for their support and self-discipline in their commitment to do the right things to ensure their health and safety and that of those they love and care about. Together we can and will get through this crisis and build a better future.
We have continued to engage with organised labour to find creative solutions to address the joint challenges we face, and following constructive discussions we agreed to:
We have made the decision to continue to pay our SMME service providers and small-scale contractors who depend on us an amount of R22 million for the period.
South Deep heeded the call by President Ramaphosa to contribute to the Solidarity Fund established to raise funds to support critical areas of work. The mine contributed R15 million to the fund, while the South Deep leadership team and and employees in their personal capacity will donate more than R1 million split between the Solidarity Fund and Local Community Aid over the next three months through salary sacrifices.
