One of the most significant economic drivers in South Africa is mineral extraction. It is crucial to note that the primary minerals mined in South Africa are of high value, which means that they contribute to technological advancements and economic expansion.
How Mining Affects South Africa's Economy
Industrialisation
South Africa is the continent's most industrialised country, thanks in large part to mineral mining. Mining involves industrialised processes, as do mineral processing, shipping, and mining equipment manufacturing. Unsurprisingly, the mining industry's wealth fueled the country's rapid industrialization.
Technological Development
Industrialisation has a close relationship with technological development. The rising complexity of mineral extraction drives further technological advancement in the industry. Subsequently, this generates employment opportunities in secondary sectors, including machinery and general technology. But the existence of wealth also aided South Africa's transition to a more service-based economy. For example, huge mining corporations demand financial services, which is why South Africa has the continent's largest stock exchange.
