About the RBN
The RBN is an estimated 300 000-strong community of Setswana-speaking black South Africans, based largely in South Africa’s North West Province. The RBN owns some 1 200km˛ of land in the province’s Bojanala District, which partially hosts the world-renowned Bushveld Complex, the richest known reserve of platinum group metals (PGMs) and chrome in the world. The RBN leases portions of this land to, or conducts joint mining operations with some of the world’s largest mining companies, including Implats, Anglo Platinum and Xstrata.
Led by Kgosi Leruo Molotlegi, the RBN has a development philosophy called Vision 2020, the physical embodiment of which is the Masterplan. This plan aims to create an environment within the RBN’s geographical area and its environs in which people live with dignity and have access to facilities – education, employment, health and recreation – that enable them to maximise their talent and ability.
