We are delighted to invite you to the 5th edition of the ICDA networking event and dinner. It has now become tradition to meet with friends and colleagues from the chrome industry before the Mining Indaba week starts.
The South African ferrochromium industry is facing significant challenges due to high electricity costs, structural issues and a weak global outlook. Despite the country’s abundant resources, there is a looming threat of further smelter closures, which could lead to job losses and impact the industry’s future. Jurisdictions that rely on South African ferrochromium may also be affected should the situation take a negative turn.
The Cape Town networking event and dinner will provide an opportunity to receive the latest update from local industry representatives and stakeholders as we expect new developments by February 2026.
The event is open to both ICDA members and non-members with seats being allocated on first-come, first served basis.
