Industrial gold origin and continental refining hub. Mining rights and mining permits under the MPRDA (DMPR); possession, refining, import and export of unwrought gold controlled by the Precious Metals Act 2005 and the South African Diamond and Precious Metals Regulator (SADPMR). Only a refining-licence holder, an authorised dealer, a producer for gold it recovered, a certificate holder, a special-permit holder or a beneficiation-licence holder may acquire, possess or dispose of unwrought gold (s.4(1)); 'unwrought' includes bars refined to less than 99.9%, so 995 Good Delivery bars are unwrought. Import needs an SADPMR permit (s.10, one year). Export of unwrought or semi-fabricated gold needs National Treasury approval under the Exchange Control Regulations with the Minister's concurrence (s.12(1)), applied for through SADPMR (Form PEA; Currency and Exchanges Manual C(B)). Royalty is profit-linked: 0.5 + EBIT/(gross sales x 12.5) x 100, capped at 5%, for gold refined and smelted to 99.5%, charged on transfers from 1 March 2010. Export proceeds must be received within six months of shipment (up to 12 months with an Authorised Dealer's approval). Illegal mining (zama zamas) feeds an informal chain outside this law.

  • Illegal mining by 'zama zamas' in derelict and working gold mines produces gold outside any MPRDA title or PMA register. The ISS ENACT brief (April 2019) puts lost production at over R14 billion a year. The Sunday Times (15 Aug 2026) reports that Cabinet endorsed a General (Mining) Laws Amendment Bill to criminalise illegal mining with up to 30 years' imprisonment and/or a R100m fine, that illegal miners have generally been charged only with trespass, and that in 2025 the minister put the loss at R60bn a year.

  • Traders treated refined recycled gold sold to banks as zero-rated bullion; SARS disallowed this and the Constitutional Court (Lueven Metals, 23 June 2026) held that gold which has undergone prior manufacturing is excluded even after refining. National Treasury's 2026 Budget Review Annexure C says refiners pool primary and secondary gold, so suppliers cannot comply, and proposes repealing s.11(1)(f).
