“Frans was such a dedicated colleague, eager to get to a solution yet very calm during hard times. His contribution to the mining industry will forever continue to guide us as we again as the sector face challenges. His expertise contributed immensely in moving us forward and for that we will solely miss him”, said Minister Shabangu.
