President, Professor Sehliselo Ndlovu (Ndlovu, 2017) emphasised the need for collaboration in research and between universities. She noted in her conclusion that ’The key to success in an economic downturn is the development and application of innovative, cost-effective exploration, mining and mineral processing technologies that can ensure sustainability and return on investment. Industry-academic partnerships can go a long way towards facilitating such achievements during these periods. The major benefits that can be gained from such a partnership are in three distinct areas: student training, research, and entrepreneurial activities, which can lead to the transfer of both technology and knowledge’. Her address, with its focus on collaboration and capacity development, forms a perfect backdrop to this one, and the two addresses are perfectly aligned. This Presidential Address describes the work that has been done to establish research and development capacity and capability, to support the sustainability of the South African mining industry, and the journey that is required to be followed if these efforts are to be sustainable and aligned to national and international imperatives. By way of introduction, it is informative to review such international and national issues, as well as industry imperatives.
