Putting the African Mining Vision into practice: UCT Takes the LEAD
The inaugural LEAD programme (Leaders in Extractives and African Development), spearheaded by UCT, promises to equip a new generation of African mining professionals with skills needed to become leaders in the responsible extraction of minerals in Africa.
The 2019 LEAD programme brings together 23 young professionals from the public and private sectors of 14 African countries, including Uganda, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, Malawi and Ghana. The candidates were selected from 295 applicants from all over Africa and are participating in an intensive two-week programme in Cape Town from 26 January to 9 February.
