OUTLOOK
Mxolisi Mgojo

Outlook

GLOBAL

SOUTH AFRICA

• Strong economic growth momentum 

• Favourable global environment

and high levels of investor and 
business confidence 

• Stable international coal markets:
China domestic coal policy will 
continue driving markets

• Strong Chinese steel production

to partly offset additional iron ore 
supply

and positive foreign international 
sentiment expected to support
South Africa’s growth prospects 

• Stable thermal coal trading

conditions anticipated

• Encouraging political developments:
a downgrade of local currency to 
sub-investment grade by Moody’s 
unlikely 

• Momentum in the titanium dioxide 

pigment market to continue 

• Volatile rand exchange rate

28

Our future beyond coal

• Coal remains our primary business

• New businesses explored:

– Smart renewable energy

– Water

– Food

• Business of Tomorrow (BoT) is 

exploring global and international 
opportunities

• Returns only expected in the

longer term
