    The division produces aggregates of a wide variety of sizes and technical specifi cations, primarily with products including stone, gravel and sand – mainly for large-scale civil engineering and infrastructure projects. It also provides professional contracted drilling & blasting services. Refl ecting cohesive vertical integration, Afrimat’s proprietary commercial quarries – located in seven of South Africa’s provinces and in Namibia – also supply the majority of raw materials for our Concrete Products and Readymix divisions.

    Afrimat continually ensures that stone reserves are adequate for the long-term needs of the group.

  • Quality assuranceThe Quality-at-Source strategy of the Mining & Aggregates division is founded on quality assurance being the responsibility of each successive link in the production process. In-process quality control is ensured by constant monitoring and evaluation – a computerised maintenance strategy is employed to ensure absolute reliability and minimum downtime. A zero-tolerance approach is adopted towards defects or deviations from quality standards and specifications.

    Concrete Products

    Our operations (continued)

    The division operates primarily in KwaZulu-Natal,

    the Free State and Worcester in the Western

    Cape, manufacturing concrete blocks and

    bricks largely for low-cost housing. Precast

    factories specifi cally manufacture concrete

    bricks, building blocks, brick paving, walling and

    moulded concrete products, which all carry the

    SABS seal of approval. Certain factories within

    the division also supply ready mixed concrete.

    In line with the group’s vertical integration policy

    90% of raw materials needs (excluding cement)

    is sourced from the group’s own quarries.

    Our operations (continued)

    Glen Douglas produces a wide spectrum of aggregate products, the largest market sector is the readymix industry, with other markets including the concrete products and brick making industries. Agricultural lime is a premium product and provided to the agricultural industry.

    In March 2012 Afrimat acquired Clinker Supplies which provides a mobile clinker reclaiming fl eet as well as crushing, screening, grading and loading services.

    * (B4303 ACT 36 of 1947)

    Afrimat’s Glen Douglas quarry is uniquely positioned to supply customers in the southern parts of Johannesburg, northern Free State and has a formidable presence in the Vaal area. High levels of metallurgical dolomite are produced at sustainable levels and supplied to the steel industry. The mine can facilitate cheaper transport costs for its customers through a rail siding equipped with a mechanical loading facility.

  • Group snapshot

    The group supplies a broad range of materials ranging from aggregates, concrete products (bricks, blocks and pavers) to readymix as well as industrial minerals. In addition Afrimat has established a strong foothold in contracting services comprising mobile crushing, screening, drilling & blasting, offering fl exibility even beyond fi xed areas of operation.

    Afrimat’s fl exibility extends further – to project scale – with the group servicing major infrastructure and construction projects for public sector and government owned enterprises through to small private sector contracts. The diverse client base acts as a risk hedge and exposes Afrimat to the full range of construction and related spend in its target regions.

    Our consistently low staff turnover has resulted in a deep skills pool. Real transformation, starting with staff and management and extending to community upliftment, is integral to the group’s sustainability. In addition, environmental conservation is an imperative part of our growth strategy.

    Afrimat Limited is a leading black empowered open pit mining company providing construction materials and industrial minerals. The group is listed in the ‘Construction & Building Materials’ sector of the Main Board JSE Limited and Afrimat’s core subsidiaries have been in operation for more than 45 years.

    Social Responsibility

    Skills UpliftmentAfrimat prioritises ongoing training in order to raise standards of performance and productivity, offering internal courses and using external suppliers to facilitate continuous development of its skills-base.

    A focused training division is dedicated to providing all employees with the opportunity of expanding their skills and qualifi cations.

    In line with succession planning, candidates have been identifi ed and are receiving personal mentorship in furthering their formal education and operational knowledge. Focus is on the areas of mechanical and civil engineering as well as management where previously disadvantaged candidates have been appointed as Trainee/Assistant Managers as part of two-three year development programmes.

    Community UpliftmentAfrimat adopts a broad-based approach to social responsibility and is committed to expenditure in terms of the social and labour plans required by the Department of Mineral Resources. The group accordingly undertakes related social development responsibilities with

    each mining licence such as the establishment of community centres, school facilities, vegetable gardens, salaries for math teachers and infrastructure including roads and drainage. The group targets 1% of profi t after tax for social responsibility projects by each subsidiary. An annual progress report in this regard is submitted to the Department of Mineral Resources.

    BEEAfrimat’s commitment to real and tangible transformation is evident in its progressive strides made in BEE. In 2009 Afrimat escalated direct black ownership in the group to 26,1% when it assisted the Afrimat BEE Trust to acquire 15,8% of the company’s issued share capital, putting the group ahead of Mining Charter requirements for 2014. The group’s main BEE partners are now Mega Oils (Pty) Limited and Joe Kalo Investments (Pty) Limited – both 100% black-owned companies with historic ties to the founding companies in the group – as well as the more recently-established Afrimat BEE Trust benefi ting black Afrimat employees. In 2012 the Afrimat BEE Trust increased its shareholding in Afrimat to 21%.

  • Our Health & Safety Policy

    The group manages its environmental footprint

    through formal Environmental Management

    Programmes (“EMPs”) in line with local and

    international regulations and best practice.

    The EMPs focus on responsible mining, reducing

    emissions through upgrades to diesel-driven

    equipment, decreasing noise pollution, recycling

    products where viable and maintaining all plants

    at optimum working levels and effi ciency.

    Active programmes to reduce the group’s carbon

    footprint have also recently been introduced.

    With Afrimat committed to continually upgrading

    and improving its EMPs, it has today become

    well-renowned and respected in the industry

    in this regard. Further, third party audits by

    ASPASA, SARMA and external consultants

    support our environmental conservation and

    protection efforts and provide added opportunity

    for refi nement of its EMPs.

    Environmental progress reports are submitted

    annually to the Department of Mineral Resources

    in terms of mining rights requirements. In

    addition, mine rehabilitation assessments

    are conducted by external consultants and

    provisions are raised to meet these future

    obligations.

    Afrimat prioritises health and safety as the key to successful and sustainable operations. Management is primarily responsible for implementing Afrimat’s extensive Health & Safety Policy. The implementation is closely monitored and all incidents are tracked on a monthly basis. This underpins the ongoing process of identifying new risks and developing procedures to mitigate these. Management and the group SHE departments conduct regular inspections to identify areas of further improvement while third party audits are conducted by ASPASA and SARMA. HIRA (Hazard Identifi cation Risk Analysis) are implemented for each work process at all operations.

    A dedicated Safety Committee is committed to researching new technological advances in order to enhance and maintain a superior safety standard throughout our operations.

    All new employees attend health and safety induction programmes, while existing employees receive ongoing training to ensure awareness and strict adherence to the Health & Safety Policy.

    Further, the group’s concern about the HIV/AIDS pandemic threatening South Africa has led to an active HIV/AIDS awareness drive.
