A coal & minerals house built
for the long haul.
Founded by Petrus Zulu, Siyayimela has grown from a Witbank yard into a mineral supply partner trusted by industries across South Africa and beyond.
Local roots,
global pull.
Siyayimela (Pty) Ltd is a South African mineral supply company founded by Petrus Zulu — built around a simple idea: that this country’s minerals deserve a partner who treats them as carefully as the people who buy them do.
We supply high-quality coal, chrome and industrial minerals across South Africa and into export markets in Africa, Asia and Europe. Our roots are in Mpumalanga and Gauteng, where the country’s most productive coal and chrome belts run, and where our relationships with producers go back years.
We’re not a brokerage with a website. We’re a working yard, a logistics team, a compliance desk and a phone that gets answered. That’s the difference, and it’s why our buyers come back.
“To deliver reliable, compliant, and sustainable mineral supply solutions that empower industries and communities.”
“To become Africa’s most trusted coal and mineral export partner, recognised for integrity, compliance, and global reach.”
Five principles. No exceptions.
These aren’t posters in a boardroom. They’re the rules we use to decide what to do when no one is watching.
- 01
Integrity in every deal
We say what we’ll deliver, and we deliver what we said. No grey areas.
- 02
Compliance, without exceptions
South African and international standards on every parcel, every shipment.
- 03
Sustainability for tomorrow
Responsible sourcing and partnerships that respect the land we mine.
- 04
Community empowerment
Local hiring, local training, local impact — rooted in Mpumalanga.
- 05
Reliability in supply
Lead times honoured. Documentation tight. Tonnages reconciled.
Founded by an operator,
run like one.
