Miningmx reports that the Minerals Council SA (previously called the Chamber of Mines) says that Paul Dunne will continue as caretaker president until the organisation’s annual general meeting in May.

This follows the resignation of the council’s president Nombasa Tsengwa from her role as CEO of Exxaro Resources. Tsengwa notified the council in December that she would “temporarily stand down” while Exxaro led an investigation into allegations against her, which included claims of workplace bullying. The suspended Tsengwa resigned from the company on 6 February. “At the Minerals Council, Paul Dunne will continue to serve as caretaker President until the Annual General Meeting in May this year. Mr Dunne took up the position in December 2024 after Dr Tsengwa requested the Minerals Council Board to allow her to temporarily stand down from the role of President,” the council advised. Commenting in her resignation statement, Tsengwa claimed that the investigation launched by Exxaro’s board was biased. She also revealed that the board was linking alleged conflicts of interest related to her personal life to the investigation. Yonelisa Petse of Aeon Investment Management commented: “The oversight of the board has been brought into question with all the allegations which may or may not have credence.”
