4. Empowerment strategy

South Africa is ranked 24th in the World Bank’s New Logistics Performance Index (LPI), making it the leading African country in trade logistics. However, Ittmann says that the indicators show South Africa to be among the worst performers in managing internal or local, logistics costs and Empowerment.

“From the State of Logistics Survey that has been published over the last three years, we know that our logistics costs as a percentage of gross domestic product are high, some 14,6%, which is higher than most of our competitors internationally,” he says.

The Industry boasts of 26, 0000 vacancies and as an empowerment strategy Sizisa has opted to identify and train women in appropriate industry related jobs. 4.1.

4.3 Chromium

About 58 per cent of the west's chromium ores and 68,3 per cent of the world's known reserves of chromite, the principal chromium mineral of economic importance, are located in South Africa's Bushveld Igneous Complex.

The United States imports three quarters of its chromium and 60 per cent of its ferrochrome from South Africa.

More than 85 per cent of all chromium produced is destined for the production of stainless steels and the closely related heat-resistant steels. Chromium, together with other metals such as copper, nickel, titanium and vanadium, is added to iron to produce steels with greatly increased strength and rust- and corrosion-resistance.


Ferrochrome is an essential ingredient of stainless steel.

The chemical industry absorbs about 25 per cent of chromium production; Chromium chemicals have a great variety of uses. Widely used as pigments, they also feature as tanning salts, oxidizing agents and catalysts. Other applications include the chromium plating of metal surfaces, photography and pyrotechnics. Another main use for chromium and its compounds is in refractories, which account for 14 per cent of production. Because of their high melting point, stability and chemical neutrality, chromite sands and refractory bricks containing chromite are used for casting moulds and furnace linings.

South Africa's ferrochrome production increased by 6,4 per cent in 1999. Local sales grew by 12,7 per cent in support of increased local stainless steel production. Export sales increased considerably to 1,9 Mt.

At the end of 1999, South Africa had 40 operational ferrochrome furnaces at 11 plants with a combined capacity of 1 400 MVA. World stainless steel melt production was expected to increase by a further five per cent in 2000.

4.4 Iron Ore

The principal deposits in South Africa are located in the Northern Cape at Sishen, from where export ore is transported via a purpose built rail link to Saldanha Bay on the Atlantic Ocean 800 kilometres away. Other high grade haematite deposits occur near Sishen at Thabazimbi on the northern rim of the Bushveld

Igneous Complex (BIC) and elsewhere on the BIC.

Iron is largely used in the form of alloys with other metals in the production of a variety of steels from cast iron to stainless steels.


Added value in the context of iron arises from a higher production of ferro-alloys and speciality steels, made by the alloying of iron with other metals found in abundance locally. As well as exporting mined ore, Iscor is making steel to compete on world markets.

Developed world ore markets are steadily growing, with the Japanese demand recovering, while the Asian markets, led by China and Korea, are advancing strongly.

4.5 Manganese

With reserves totaling in excess of 4 000 Mt, 80 per cent of the world's known manganese ore deposits are located in the Northern Cape and the North West province.

High grade metallurgical manganese ore is generally smelted and refined to produce ferromanganese, an alloy which has long

been used in the processing of steel with most of the manganese alloy production in other countries originating from South African ore.

Manganese is classified as a 'strategic' metal by the United States: that country relies on South Africafor around 30 per cent of its total manganese content in all forms. including 25 per cent of its ferromanganese intake.

Just as the main downstream use of ferrochrome is stainless steel. ferromanganese .s beneficiated as carbon steel. As an alloying agent, ferromanganese is invaluable in imparting strength, toughness and abrasion-resistance to steel, with the world crude steel market consuming more than 90 per cent of manganese output. The metal is also used as an alloying agent to strengthen aluminium and is added to copper to form a wide range of manganese bronzes.


Manganese dioxide is a powerful oxidizing agent with a variety of chemical applications, including use in dry cell batteries and in acid leaching to recover uranium and zinc from their ores. Considerable value added potential exists in the production of manganese chemicals. These are used principally in making fungicides for agricultural use - a sector hardly touched on by South Africa, which supplies only some three per cent of the world's manganese chemicals requirements.

Against a background of rationalized manganese production world-wide, a shortage of high grade manganese ore in international markets and still high demand for carbon steels which has seen price gains for both manganese ores and alloys.

4.6 Titanium

South Africa's reserves of titanium contained in ilmenite, as well as rutile and leucoxene, are concentrated mainly in extensive titanium-bearing deposits in black sands in the Richard's Bay and St Lucia areas of northern KwaZulu Natal. The Richard's Bay titanium reserves are the fourth largest in the world.

During the last two decades or so the importance of titanlure - one of the toughest, lightest and most corrosion resistant materials known to man - has steadily increased throughout the world. Titanlure has become one of the most highly rated of all metals.

Titanlure alloys are used in the manufacture of aerospace components, guided missiles, military hardware, camera bodies, tube condensers and turbine blades with increased usage in the nuclear industry, chemical plants medicine and marine parts. Ilmenite and rutile are rich in titanium dioxide, which is most commonly used to add opacity to paints, paper, plastics, fibres, floor coverings and enamels - to name but a few - while the pigment industry is the world's largest user of titanlure dioxide.
