How Digital Transformation Is Redefining Mining in Africa: Insights from Accenture’s Johan Coetzee

We chat with Johan Coetzee, Strategy and Consulting Lead for Resources at Accenture in South Africa. Johan has extensive experience advising mining companies across the continent on how to drive digital transformation, sustainability, and operational excellence in increasingly complex environments.

We’ll explore how digital innovation is redefining mining in Africa, from automation and AI to sustainability, cybersecurity, and workforce development. We’ll also look at what’s holding the industry back from wider adoption, and what Accenture’s experience reveals about how to unlock real value from technology investments.
