AWARDS & RECOGNITIONS:

Bongani Vilakazi – awarded CTC (Colliery Training Centre) Advanced Coal Preparation Student of the Year.  Overall result 90%.

The following Kwena employees received recognition awards from ECC management for outstanding work carried out during projects with no incidents or injuries recorded during the implementation of the projects:

Dorstfontein West:  J Gallagher (General Engineering Superintendent), S Coombe (Plant Manager) Dorstfontein East:  J Shoobert (Electrical Foreman) Forzando:  V Nel (Plant Engineer), J Coetzee (Plant Manager)

ADDITIONAL CONVEYER INSTALLED:

An additional product conveyor was successfully installed at the DCME plant so that the washed product from the rewash of discard is stockpiled separately from the product produced from the raw ROM coal. This eliminates any product contamination and simplifies the process flow of the two products produced. In case of a shortage of raw coal supply, Tango is able to substitute the raw coal with discard and in doing so can maintain the tonnage through the plant at or close to the budgeted throughput.
