Businesses urged to exploit opportunities in mining

During a business development forum yesterday, BCM projects manager, Joe Ramotshabi indicated that a lot of money is spent by the mining industry on procuring goods and services from foreign suppliers.

He suggested that the purchasing power could be used to develop and diversify the local economy, attract foreign direct investment (FDI), facilitate citizen economic empowerment and job creation. As such, Ramotshabi said BCM seeks to facilitate cost saving potential and creation of local strategic suppliers.
