Ruling party will heed Joburg Indaba call for removal of Minerals Minister – Mkhize

The majority call by the Joburg Indaba for the government to replace Mineral Resources Minister Mosebenzi Zwane with a new Minister would be communicated to the African National Congress (ANC), which was committed to facilitating an enabling environment for the South African mining industry, ANC treasurer general and former Kwazulu-Natal premier Dr Zweli  Mkhize said on Wednesday. Mkhize was delivering the opening keynote address on the first day of the fifth Joburg Indaba conference following the controversial Minister going on a charm offensive the day before as the main speaker at the Joburg Indaba gala dinner.
