Cimas has been Zimbabwe’s leading medical aid society for over 75 years now, preferred by corporates and families since 1945. As a medical aid that has stood the test of time, all our members are reassured through the trust and security of being looked after by a society that is professional, approachable and above all, a society whose primary care and concern is for its members.
Prior to the Second World War in 1939, discussions were held in the then Salisbury Chambers of Commerce and Industry on the need for some form of medical aid insurance for employees in the private sector.
The municipalities of the two major towns of Salisbury (Harare) and Bulawayo had also introduced medical aid benefit funds. The Chambers of Commerce and Industry felt there was a need for a medical aid society, or mutual benefit fund, that catered for the employees in the private sector as well. The advent of the Second World War delayed the start of the operations of the proposed society until the 1st of October 1945, when the Commercial and Industrial Medical Aid Society opened its doors for business, and has been going and growing stronger every year since.
The Cimas Board is made up of eminent individuals across a wide range of expertise in the country. These bring with them a wealth of experience and knowledge from their respective fields. They are a significant indicator of who we are, aside from our operations, and the ethos we stand for.

Wesizwe Platinum Limited is a public Company incorporated in the Republic of South Africa (RSA) with its shares listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE). Our intention is to enter into Platinum Group Metals (PGM) mining in South Africa as the launch pad for growing into a significant multi-commodity mining Company that sets new benchmarks for sustainable mining practices. The development of our new Bakubung Platinum Mine (BPM) has the sole purpose to access one of the last remaining sizeable and viable Merensky and Upper Group 2 (UG2) Chromitite layer PGM ore bodies, and the timing and positioning of this development project could not be better placed to maximize value for all its current and future stakeholders.
Our business is mainly focused on the successful development of BPM for the Shareholders benefit, and more importantly to ensure value add towards our Host Communities.
The mine access is through twin vertical shafts system and 6 m raise bore ventilation holes to 72 level (72L). The 6 m raise bore holes are for up-cast ventilation purposes. The third shaft is intended for support functions, added ventilation and as an escape route. The main shaft is intended to have a hoisting capacity of 255 000 tpm of ore and 15 000 tpm of waste per month. An initial 230 000 tpm will be mined from the MR, with 20 000 tpm coming from the secondary UG2 Reef. After the MR is depleted (between 10 to 15 years from the start of production), the full 255 000 tpm will comprise UG2 ore only.
The MR and the UG2 ore will be mined through semi-mechanised or hybrid methods using conventional methods on the face and mechanised ore-handling and development.
Our Value proposition and strategy.
“Wesizwe is focused on high –value PGM and strategic metals that have long –term demand”
In 2003 the Group’s initial shareholders identified available and virgin portion of the Merensky and UG2 Reefs within the Bushveld Complex of the Northwest Province that could be mined over a period of 30-35 years. The potential to realise enormous benefits for shareholders, stakeholders, and the local communities, included the potential creation of thousands of new jobs and would introduce a host of other benefits to the local and national economy. The costs of developing and operating such a mine were assessed against the global demand forecast for PGMs over four decades.
The project was assessed by the Jinchuan Group Co. Limited (Jinchuan) and the China Africa Development Fund (CADFund), both joining as shareholders and strategic investors (the China Africa Jinchuan Investments Limited (CAJIL) consortium).
This consortium has since invested equity and debt capital as well as expertise into Wesizwe towards the development of the BPM. Jinchuan is the world’s third largest cobalt manufacturing enterprise and third largest nickel manufacturer. It is also Asia’s first largest platinum manufacturer and China’s third largest copper
producer, As the Chinese leader in the production of platinum, cobalt and nickel, it has much experience and knowledge to share particularly because nickel mining in practice is similar to that of platinum mining. Jinchuan therefore adds its vast mining expertise and local mining skills to our Board, inclusive of providing specialist mining support from its China operations.
Founded in 2007, the CADFund supports Chinese companies that wish to enter the African market. It bridges the gap between free aid and loans, without increasing the debt burden to African countries, by identifying high-potential projects that require stable support to become profitable.
Business strategy
Wesizwe is focused on high-value PGM and strategic metals that have long-term demand and will enable the Group to develop into a sustainable mid-tier mining house. Our anchor project is the BPM with a LOM of 30 – 35 years.CAJIL, our Chinese consortium shareholder, along with other Chinese mining professionals, fulfill the positions of deputy Chairman, CEO, Financial Director and non-executive Directors on the Board, all of whom are highly influential in developing the Group strategy.
BBBEE
Our obligations linked to the mining right granted in terms of section 23 of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act (MPRDA), No 28 of 2002, have been fully discharged. We have taken into account our obligations arising from the Broad-based Socio Economic Empowerment Charter for the South African Mining and Minerals Industry (Mining Charter) released by the Department of Mineral Resources(DMR) in September 2018. We will also endeavor to ensure aligning our transformation strategy to the implementation guidelines of the Mining Charter as issued by the DMR in December 2018.
Sustainable development strategy
Our extensive sustainable development strategy is implemented in parallel with the BPM development and its supporting infrastructure. This strategy aims to align the legitimate concerns and needs of all key stakeholders with social, environmental, and financial outcomes resulting from the mine’s activities.

Bakubung Platinum Mine
Wesizwe's core project is the Bakubung Platinum Mine (formerly known as the Frischgewaagd-Ledig project). The property consists of various portions of the farm Frischgewaagd 96 JQ and Ledig 909 JQ. These two farms are located directly south of the Pilanesberg complex.
The project site is situated directly adjacent to the western side of the Royal Bafokeng Platinum Styldrift project and immediately north of Maseve's Project 1, owned in partnership with Canadian group Platinum Group Metals (PTM). These properties are all located on the Western Limb of the mineral-rich Bushveld Igneous Complex in the North West province of South Africa. The Bakubung Platinum Mine will comprise of an underground mine with a twin vertical shaft system - a main shaft and a ventilation shaft which will also function as the second escape route – and a process plant.
The main shaft is planned to have a hoisting capacity of 230 000 tonnes of ore plus 40 000 tonnes of waste per month. Initially the Merensky Reef ore will be mined at the rate of 180 000 tonnes and the UG2 ore will make up the balance of 50 000 tonnes per month. Once the Merensky has been depleted, the full 230 000 tonnes will be generated from UG2 ore. It is anticipated that the annual 4E (3 PGM + Au) production during steady state be around 420 000 ounces.
The Merensky Reef will be mined using conventional stoping methods and the UG2 using semi-mechanised methods, also known as hybrid methods. Crushing will be done underground from where the reefs will be separately conveyed to stockpiles at the concentrator plant. The concentrator design has emanated from the results of the test work conducted during the bankable feasibility study and is based on a standard PGM plant layout. Options for collaboration in developing a joint concentrator plant with neighbours Maseve are being investigated to exploit benefits from economies of scale and sharing capital infrastructure costs.
Developing a Mine
Wesizwe officially launched the Bakubung Platinum Mine development project on 4 July 2011. TWP Projects, a highly-competent engineering and project management company that has significant mine development experience in South Africa’s PGM industry, was appointed as EPCM (engineering, procurement, construction management) contractor for the first 12 months of mine development – from July 2011 to June 2012 – with the aim of concluding the final EPCM contract for the full scope. The initial scope of this work included all project critical activities that enabled the project to start pre-sink preparation on the main and ventilation shafts in the first half of 2012.
At the end of March 2012, Wesizwe awarded the shaft sinking contract for the Bakubung Platinum Mine to Aveng Grinaker-LTA. Six local and international companies were invited to tender and the 1.64 billion contract was awarded following a thorough technical and commercial adjudication process. In selecting the contractor for the single largest capital cost item in the development programme, the adjudication team considered the commercial offer, the technical expertise and experience, as well as a number of other important factors which included the company’s ownership structure; systems and resources; and its safety, health and environment track record. Aveng Grinaker-LTA has been involved with the development of mines for the past three decades and has considerable shaft sinking experience.
The pollution control dam 1 was part of the initial site preparation work completed mid-2011. Work is advancing on the pollution control dam 2 which will increase the holding capacity to 50 000l3 to 60 000l3 which equates to around two thirds of the required capacity at full production.
The site team has moved into the on-site offices, security and access control is now in place on site and the access road to the site is almost complete. The process of project revalidation is also being finalised in preparation for project debt fund-raising.
Securing bulk services
Temporary water and power supply has been established and the project team is working on securing more permanent bulk services to the mine.
Wesizwe has paid South Africa’s national energy supplier, Eskom, the requisite deposit of R58 million and has provided the required performance guarantees of around R31 million, enabling Eskom to commit to provide a permanent power supply for phase 1.
Power supply of 8MW - which is sufficient for shaft-sinking (to the end of 2018) - is scheduled to be available from September 2012 when the mine will convert from pre-sink to slow sink. The Eskom sub-station construction is on track, with the high tension cable duct from the sub-station to the main power points on the mine already dug and being concreted. In phase 2 the power supply will increase to 60MW to accommodate the move towards full production and processing through the concentrator plant. Negotiations around phase 2 are ongoing with Eskom.
Wesizwe has secured temporary water supply of 200 000 litres per day which is sufficient to the end of shaft sinking. However, the company requires a supply of six million litres per day fresh feed at full production. A process is underway with the Magalies Water Authority and other interested parties, which include neighbouring mining companies, local and provincial municipal structures and community representatives, to secure water supply in a way that not only benefits the mining companies, who will derive maximum advantage from a synergistic approach to their infrastructure needs, but also the communities in the area who currently have limited access to fresh water supply.
Wesizwe has appointed a housing programme specialist who will advise the company on the construction of housing for employees. The scope of work includes understanding the requirements of the mine, development of a policy, indentifying the most appropriate location, and determining an accommodation model and the related funding requirements. Again, opportunities for collaboration are being explored with other mining companies in the area
