Optimum Coal sets a sterling example of
real broad-based black economic empowerment. Not only is Optimum Coal
majority black owned, but is a highly successful South African coal
mining company with operational control also being in black hands.
Optimum Coal brought about true broad-based empowerment by the fact
that a large portion of the company’s shares are owned by its employees
and the local community, with extensive social investment and enterprise
development programmes being rolled out on a daily basis.
Optimum Coal successfully provides coal
to Eskom, other local companies and to the export market - proof that
true broad-based BEE can work and can benefit our nation. Optimum Coal
is a true leader in the coal industry.
