Ghana Rejects Mining License Renewal, Prioritizes National Control of Gold Resources

Ghana 🇬🇭 has refused to renew the mining license of a major South African 🇿🇦 mining company, signaling a stronger push towards resource nationalism and tighter control over its natural resources.

The decision highlights the government’s resolve to ensure the country’s mineral wealth delivers greater economic benefits to its own citizens.

A Ghanaian remarked: “If they want Ghanaians out of South Africa, then Ghana’s gold must belong to the Ghanaian people.”
