About 47% of water use at  the com- pany comprises recycled or reused water and the operational eMalahleni  water reclamation plant treats polluted mine water to potable quality and  supplies this treated water to surrounding mines and the local municipality.  This reduces the mine\u2019s need to abstract water from the local municipal system  and to discharge untreated mine water into the environment.
