🌍🍃 WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY | 5 JUNE 2026

Today, we join the global community in celebrating World Environment Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness and taking action to protect our environment.

This year’s theme,“Inspired by Nature, For Climate, For Our Future”, calls on all of us to appreciate the vital role of natural systems—our forests, rivers, and biodiversity—in sustaining life and combating climate change.

As custodians of our environment, we are encouraged to restore ecosystems, reduce environmental impacts, and promote sustainable practices that secure a greener future for generations to come.

Let us work together as communities, government, and stakeholders to preserve and protect the natural heritage of Limpopo. 💚🌱

📍 Stakeholders Workshop Underway | Limpopo Mining and Minerals Beneficiation Academy

The Limpopo MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism, Dr Tsh*tereke Matibe, has emphasised that the successful establishment of the Mining and Minerals Beneficiation Academy will depend on strong partnerships between government, mining companies, tertiary institutions and regulatory bodies.

Speaking at the Stakeholders Workshop currently underway at Park Inn Hotel in Polokwane, the MEC highlighted the importance of collaboration among these critical stakeholders to drive skills development and beneficiation in the province.

He further stressed that government must put the necessary processes in place to ensure that the first intake of students is realised as early as January 2027, in line with the province’s rollout of mining skills development initiatives.
