Development Impact
The development impact – the jobs, exports, beneficiation, localisation and community contribution underpinning TitanForge.
The programme’s development case is central to the DFI funding
strategy, and it is quantified rather than asserted. By 2036 the Group
will directly employ over 22,000 people and support more than 75,000
indirect and induced jobs; export over 35 million tonnes annually
through owned infrastructure that also serves third-party producers;
produce strategic battery and industrial minerals within the continent;
generate over 1.2 GW of renewable power avoiding approximately 2.9 Mt of
CO2e annually; and mobilise over R90 billion of capital investment into
productive assets across six countries. Beyond the headline numbers, the
structural contribution is the corridor itself: rail and port capacity
built for TitanForge volumes but sized 40–75% above group requirements
becomes shared national logistics infrastructure — the most binding
constraint on South African mining relieved by private capital.
- SDG alignment: SDG 7 (affordable clean energy), SDG 8 (decent
work), SDG 9 (industry, innovation, infrastructure), SDG 13 (climate
action). - 2X and JET-IP eligibility screening for the Helios and Forge Park
components. - Local procurement of 60% of addressable spend by Y5; supplier
development fund of 1% of procurement spend. - Skills legacy: group academy targeting 1,500 artisan and operator
qualifications over the decade.
