The event drew senior government officials, private sector leaders and top management from Ivanplats, the South African subsidiary of Ivanhoe Mines.

Completed in 2024, the state-of-the-art plant is already making a noticeable impact improving sanitation, strengthening public health and giving new life to municipal wastewater through recycling for industrial use.

"Ivanplats is proud to be part of a solution that serves both the community and the mine," said Jacques Pretorius, managing director.

"This is what shared value looks like - infrastructure that uplifts, empowers and works for everyone."
