POPULARITY
When we're stuck in our careers, how do we get unstuck?How do we get recognition and value for our efforts?How do we avoid being misunderstood in our communications?This was what Johan Meyer and I discussed in this podcast episode.
Today's episode is with Johan Meyer (also known as Stompie) from Mother Rock and J.H. Meyer Signature Wines based in the Swartland, South Africa. If you're privy to the natural wine scene in the Cape, you'll know these labels without a doubt. I often hear people say that there are three guys that really put natural wine on the map in South Africa and that is Johan Meyer, Jurgen Gouws of Intellego (there's an episode with him a few back) and Craig Hawkins of Lammershoek and Testalonga. In this episode, you'll hear how Stompie got into natural wine, and how it wasn't always what he did. At the beginning, he was working for a big commercial winery called Sutter Home – you might have heard of it – out in California. After another stint at a smaller winery in New Zealand, plus a transformative experience at Matassa in Southern France – a natural wine project started by Tom Lubbe, a New Zealander who grew up in South Africa South – Stompie returned home determined to do his own thing. He shares how the Swartland Revolution which took place around 2010 helped pave the way for newcomers like himself, and how at that time, there was a huge gap in the market for affordable natural wine made at scale. Enter: Mother Rock Wines. That is all part 1 of my conversation with Stompie. In Part 2, we talk more about the wines, including his 'Brutal!' series, which is a natural wine “club” of sorts, to which Stompie was the first South African producer ever invited. You'll also hear about the new wine of origin appellation that he has established at his high elevation home on the Piketberg Mountain, about two and a half hours north of Cape Town. Plus, stick around for the end of part 2 where you'll hear why Stompie is called Stompie. To begin the story, we need to go all the way back to Stompie's childhood in the Garden Route, where the dominant type of farming was not of grapes, but of cows... Hosted by Charlotte Alsaadi.

This episode is the second half of our conversation with Johan Meyer (also known as Stompie) from Mother Rock and J.H. Meyer Signature Wines based in the Swartland, South Africa. Here, we dive into his wines and why the Cape needs to diversify beyond old vine Chenin Blanc. We also talk about the new wine of origin appellation called Picket-bo-berg that he's created at his home estate on top of the Piketberg Mountain. Plus, we end with the story of why Stompie is called Stompie. We'll pick up our conversation where we left off, talking about how Chenin Blanc allows him a little bit more creativity than Chardonnay, and why this desire to make something outside the box led him to become South Africa's first producer to receive the special invite to the ‘Brutal!' club of winemakers, a label that is very much a part of the global natural wine movement today.

The use of technology is expected to boost productivity and efficiencies in various sectors, and the mining industry is no different. PWC has noted a pick-up in the use of innovative cutting edge technologies to drive more efficient operations in the local mining industry. Business Day TV spoke to Johan Meyer, Executive Head of Projects and Technology at Exxaro for more on the company's digital transformation journey.
Coal miner Exxaro's pledge at the 2018 South African Investment Conference (SAIC) to invest R19.54-billion in projects led to it completing seven megaprojects at operations in Limpopo and Mpumalanga, with as much as 98% of its capital expenditure having been spent with South African suppliers. In turn, this empowered 6 712 people who were directly employed by Exxaro during the construction phase of these projects, while also indirectly impacting as many as 70 000 others who received indirect work in South Africa as a result. Of the 6 712 people Exxaro employed, 57% were recruited from within the communities where the projects were established, while the remaining 43% were recruited from elsewhere in South Africa. This was particularly the case with Exxaro's digital Belfast mine, as implementing modern technologies required skills not necessarily available in the remote Mpumalanga region. At this project, 44% of those employees involved with the construction were recruited from local communities, while 56% came from elsewhere in South Africa. Nevertheless, 78% of those involved with the Grootegeluk (GG) 6 expansion project were recruited from local communities, while 96% came from local communities for the thermal and metallurgical coal Leeuwpan life extension project. In 2018, the miner pledged to complete nine major projects, of which it has completed seven, totalling R13.24-billion, and opted not to proceed with one project. The only outstanding project is the life extension of its Matla mine – an Eskom-funded project which remains on schedule and budget of R3.5-billion. Exxaro projects and technology executive head Johan Meyer says that because of the maturity of the Mpumalanga-based Matla mine, the working face was significantly advanced, thereby requiring miners to travel vast distances underground before arriving for work. This presented a safety hazard and was tiring on mining personnel, as well as making mining at Matla inefficient. To remedy the situation, Exxaro proposed establishing a new shaft nearer to the working face that would enable miners to quickly and safely reach their zones of work. As such, Exxaro shut its Mine 1 in 2014 when it started plans to build a new shaft. In the process of extending the life of the Matla mine, Exxaro is awaiting additional funds from Eskom, which will take the mine to 2048 and ensure it meets the Matla Power Station coal supply agreement requirement of ten-million tonnes a year. This project is likely to be completed by 2025. Meanwhile, putting a R2.8-billion dent in its overall R19.5-billion investment pipeline announced in 2018, Exxaro exited its proposal to build the 630 MW Thabametsi independent power station in Limpopo. “The independent power producer journey was stopped because of financial constraints that we have in building new coal-fired power stations,” he says. COMPLETED PROJECTS Since Exxaro's 2018 SAIC pledge, the miner has spent R5.3-billion on expanding its GG operation – through the GG6 expansion project – to increase its production of semi-soft coking coal by converting its existing GG 2 plant single-stage beneficiation plant to a double-stage beneficiation complex. For its newest addition – the Mpumalanga-based Belfast mine, Exxaro spent R3.3-billion on building a fully-digital mine that produces A-grade thermal coal for the export market, as well as low-grade power station coal over a seven-year life-of-mine. “For the life of Belfast, it contributes [about] R2-billion [a year] into that community, whether it is paying taxes, salaries [or] partners that work together to make Belfast work,” says Meyer. The miner also invested R1.9-billion on extending the life of its Mpumalanga-based Mafube thermal coal joint venture operation with Anglo American, R1.3-billion on commissioning a rapid load-out rail station at GG, R600-million on backfilling the openpit mine at GG and R500-million on extending the life of its Leeuwpan operation by 12 years. In terms of health...
JSE-listed Exxaro Resources has started with work on its Matla Mine 1 Relocation project. The 42-year-old Matla operation consists of three underground mines. At Matla Mine 1, which has been on care and maintenance since 2016, a new decline shaft is being developed, including a boxcut with bulk materials handling facility. Exxaro targets first production from Mine 1 again in the second half of 2023, at a capacity of four-million tonnes of coal a year, bringing the total production from the Matla operation to ten-million tonnes a year for the remainder of its mine life to 2042. The coal is supplied to State-owned power utility Eskom’s Matla power station, near Kriel, in Mpumalanga. Eskom is funding the R3.3-billion cost of the Matla Mine 1 Relocation project, while Exxaro remains responsible for project management and mining at Matla. Exxaro has been waiting for Eskom to make good on its investment commitments to continue accessing resources at the Mine 1 shaft. Exxaro projects and technology executive head Johan Meyer tells Mining Weekly that the relocation project involves the construction of a new decline shaft to gain access to the remaining economical two-seam reserves. The project also includes plans to supply Mine 1 with five complete suites of underground continuous mining equipment, interseams between Mine 2 and Mine 3, and a ventilation shaft to supply fresh air to Mine 3’s future production areas. Exxaro is in the process of identifying direct and indirect local procurement opportunities valued at R300-million. Local black-owned suppliers and entrepreneurs are expected to participate in tender and quotation processes. While the boxcut work on the project, for example, has to be done by specialised contractors, Exxaro takes every effort to include community participation on all other nonspecialised site works. Meyer says Exxaro continuously investigates how to maximise local procurement, skills development and economic development. He adds that many of Exxaro’s specialised contractors, in turn, procure goods and services from local communities.

GaySA Radio — The Steam Room is broadcast on GaySA Radio every Wednesday from 19:00 to 21:00, and is brought to you by the National Department of Health’s Phila programme. The Phila programme encourages all South Africans to be inspired to live, and is about keeping fit, knowing about your health and body, eating well and taking action about your health in general. Episode 1 of The Steam Room focuses on MSM, or men who have sex with men. GaySA Radio spoke to Johan Meyer, the Health Manager at OUT in Pretoria, a professional service organisation focusing on direct health and mental health services, research, mainstreaming and advocacy for Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people. What is MSM? The term MSM is an acronym for “men who have sex with men”. These men do not necessarily identify as gay, bisexual or transgender, but do occasionally “bat for the other team”, or have sex with men. They self-identify as heterosexual, and many are happily married to women and have children. MSM prefer being in a relationship with a woman, but sometimes feel the urge to have sex with other men. How prevalent is MSM? According to Meyer, it is difficult to get exact statistics about men who have sex with men, as this is a very hidden group. While gay men are out and proud and bisexual men are also gaining more visibility, men who have sex with men are already struggling with questions regarding their sexuality, and have great difficulty in coming out. In addition to this, the community struggles to understand the concept, as it doesn’t clearly fit into any of the boxes regarding sexuality that society has gotten used to. According to OUT’s estimates, there are roughly 40 000 men who have sex with men in Pretoria alone, and Meyer believes that they add to the existing 11% of men who identify as gay. What issues do MSM face? Due to issues like the community’s disregard for this group of people, men who have sex with men often face stigmatisation, discrimination, and are also quite marginalised – in addition to the existing instances of internalised homophobia that are characteristic of many people who face psychological difficulties regarding their gender and sexuality. All of these factors make men who have sex with men an especially difficult group to reach, both for research and statistical purposes and for health services. According to research done by OUT in 2015 to gauge levels of empowerment and to ...
