South Africa

The Republic of South Africa is a country located at the southern tip of Africa, with a 2,798 kilometres (1,739 mi) coastline on the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. To the north lie Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe; to the east are Mozambique and Swaziland; while Lesotho is an independent country wholly surrounded by South African territory.

South Africa is a constitutional democracy in the form of a parliamentary republic; unlike most parliamentary republics the positions of head of state and head of government are merged in a parliamentarily dependent President. It is one of the founding members of the African Union, and has the largest economy of all the members. It is also a founding member of the United Nations and NEPAD.

Greenhills Plant

The company manufactures manganese, sulphate powder, manganese sulphate solution and manganese oxide at its plant in Mpumalanga better known as the Greenhills plant. The main source of income from the plant is from the sale of manganese sulphate, manganese hydrate and manganese oxide. The average production of the plant is 300 tonnes per month of manganese sulphate and 360 tonnes of manganese oxides which approximately 230 tonnes are used to produce manganese sulphate powder. This business is not considered to be a core asset and will be probably disposed of in the short term future.
