Coega Steels launches R500m low-emission rolling mill in South Africa, creating 600 jobs

Coega Steels is commissioning a R500m low-emission rolling mill in Nelson Mandela Bay, aiming to boost production while cutting emissions and creating 300 direct and 300 indirect jobs. The project provides economic relief to the Eastern Cape, which has a 47.5% unemployment rate. The development signals a shift toward greener steel production in South Africa, though the scale and timeline of emission reductions remain unspecified.
