Social and Labour Plans (SLP): Gaps - ISD Podcast Episode 02

In this episode, the Institute for Social Dialogue examines the gaps affecting the design, implementation and delivery of Social and Labour Plans in South Africa. The discussion considers the difference between commitments recorded in a plan and the outcomes experienced by mining-affected communities. It explores community participation, transparency, accountability, stakeholder coordination and the importance of independently verifying delivery. The episode also asks what mines, communities, government and other stakeholders can do differently to ensure that Social and Labour Plans create measurable and sustainable local impact. The Institute for Social Dialogue works with the mining industry through two practical interventions: Independent Social and Labour Plan audits that assess commitments, delivery and areas requiring corrective action. Facilitated dialogue in mining communities to strengthen participation, address concerns and build shared understanding around Social and Labour Plan delivery.
