The positive manner in which Hillside Aluminium is working with Eskom to ensure the longevity of aluminium production in South Africa is highly commendable.

A remarkable aspect of the collaboration is the revelation that Hillside is working towards providing funding support for an aluminium rod manufacturing facility in Richards Bay to supply local content to Eskom’s electricity grid expansion. In addition, Hillside is working with local partners on a potential aluminium dross plant and a billet alloy plant.

This is the sort of depth of teamwork that should be taken up as a model. Without it, Hillside could well have gone the same way as Mozal.
