Sakhu Indhlu Development and Construction (Pty) Ltd, Reg No: 2006/002601/07 owns the land known as remainder 0 of De Pont 228, in extant 101,28 hectares which is located in the Free State. Sweet Sensations Vaal Sand (Pty) Ltd, Reg No: 2007/002195/07 have the mining rights on the property.
Our objective is to mine the mineral resource, silica sand, to create numerous and required sustainable full time employment opportunities for people within the area, which is key to the objectives of the Free State Province. The mine has a mining life span of roughly 22 years.
The mined resource, silica sand which is in short supply nationally and a key mineral for the country's growth has been earmarked for further youth development, creating secondary sustainable jobs for unskilled labourers in Gauteng and the Free State. The Department of Health & Social Development under the banner of Sustainable Livelihoods endorses the project setup by Sweet Sensations Vaal Sand (Pty) Ltd.
The uniqueness of the project lies in the fact that silica sand will be bagged either on site or in areas where we need to stimulate local economies thus creating employment for those in need.
Silica sand can be beneficiated in areas where we need to stimulate local economies and create employment for those in need, i.e. women receiving child support grants. Secondary opportunities will arise such as logistics thus further stimulating employment and revenue generation.
We fall under the Construction, Development and Mining industry sector. The quality of silica sand on De Pont is sought after by builders, foundries and water management companies for filtration. The sand has also been evalu-ated by Nampak & Consol Glass as suitable for the manufacturing of glass vessels.
The proximity to the market, given the current economic climate and the competitive pricing to that of competitors as well as the accessibility to the source and from the source to the market is excellent. The quantity and quality of the resource gives sustainability and continuity ensuring growth and profitability.
Our fundamental goal is to become one of the leading suppliers of the following products;
- Building sand
- Plaster sand
- Silica sand
