About Mkhonto Resources
Mkhonto Resources (Pty) Ltd is a South African resources company operating from Middelburg, Mpumalanga. Its activities may include mining support, bulk logistics coordination, mineral and commodity trading facilitation, commercial introductions and energy-related opportunities.
This website is primarily an information and enquiry platform. Unless expressly confirmed in a signed written agreement, the website does not itself appoint Mkhonto Resources, reserve transport, guarantee commodity supply, conclude a sale or create a binding brokerage, agency, partnership or investment relationship.
Permitted website use
You may use the website only for lawful and legitimate purposes. You may not:
- misrepresent your identity, authority, business, goods, services or commercial capacity;
- submit false, misleading, fraudulent, defamatory or unlawful information;
- attempt to bypass, probe, disrupt or compromise the website or its security;

- copy, resell or commercially exploit website content without written permission; or
- use the website to facilitate bribery, corruption, money laundering, sanctions evasion or any prohibited transaction.
Website information
We aim to keep website information useful and reasonably current, but content may be general, incomplete, delayed or subject to change. It is not professional, legal, tax, financial, technical, mining, engineering, investment or transport advice.
Photographs, service descriptions, specifications, availability, routes, tonnages, grades, pricing indications and timelines are illustrative unless confirmed in a formal written agreement. You must obtain independent advice and verify information before acting on it.
Market and commodity information
Commodity prices, market indicators, news and related data may be obtained from third-party sources, delayed feeds or public information. They are provided for general market awareness only and may not reflect executable prices, local specifications, transport costs, taxes, exchange rates, quality adjustments or actual transaction terms.
Nothing on the website constitutes an offer, recommendation, investment advice or guarantee of price, supply, quality, profitability or future performance. Users remain responsible for independent verification and commercial decisions.
Enquiries and submissions
Submitting a contact form, WhatsApp message, email, request for quotation, buyer requirement, seller offer, truck pack or other enquiry does not oblige Mkhonto Resources to respond, accept, introduce parties or proceed with a transaction.
You confirm that submitted information is accurate, current and not confidential unless an appropriate written confidentiality agreement is already in place. We may request additional information or decline an enquiry at our discretion, subject to applicable law.
Document and file uploads
You may upload only files that you own or are authorised to provide. You remain responsible for ensuring that files are lawful, accurate, safe and free from malware, confidential information belonging to unauthorised third parties and content that infringes intellectual-property or privacy rights.
We may scan, restrict, reject, quarantine or delete files for security, legal, operational or storage reasons. Uploading a file does not constitute verification, approval or acceptance of its contents.
Commercial transactions
Any transaction involving minerals, commodities, transport, equipment, facilitation, commission, investment or services is subject to separate written terms, satisfactory due diligence, verification of authority and documents, availability, specification, pricing, payment security and all required legal and regulatory approvals.
If a signed commercial agreement conflicts with these website terms, the signed agreement governs that transaction to the extent of the conflict.
Verification and due diligence
Users must conduct their own due diligence on counterparties, ownership, licences, permits, mineral rights, product origin, quality, quantities, vehicles, insurance, banking information, tax status and authority to transact.
A listing, introduction, logo, document, communication or reference on the website does not amount to endorsement or a warranty that any person, company, product, mine, transporter or opportunity is genuine, compliant or suitable.
Intellectual property
Website content, branding, design, text, graphics, software and original materials are owned by or licensed to Mkhonto Resources and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Third-party trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
You may view and print reasonable extracts for legitimate internal business evaluation. No other reproduction, modification, distribution, republication or commercial use is permitted without prior written consent.
Third-party services and links
The website may link to or rely on third-party websites, data providers, messaging services, hosting, email, maps or other platforms. These services are governed by their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control and are not responsible for their availability, security, accuracy or content.
Privacy and communications
Personal information submitted through the website may be processed to respond to enquiries, assess opportunities, conduct due diligence, manage relationships, protect security, comply with legal obligations and operate the business, in accordance with applicable South African data-protection law, including the Protection of Personal Information Act, 2013.
By providing contact details, you authorise communications relating to your enquiry or business relationship. Marketing communications will be handled in accordance with applicable law, and you may opt out where required.
Security
We use reasonable safeguards, but no website, email or electronic transmission is completely secure. You are responsible for protecting your systems and independently confirming sensitive instructions—including bank-account or payment changes—through a trusted channel before acting.
Warranties and availability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the website is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not warrant uninterrupted availability, error-free operation, compatibility, completeness, accuracy, security or that the website will meet a particular requirement.
Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty or consumer right that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable legislation.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Mkhonto Resources and its directors, employees, representatives and service providers will not be liable for indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential loss, or for loss of profit, revenue, data, opportunity, production or reputation arising from use of, or reliance on, this website.
This limitation does not apply where liability cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including liability arising from gross negligence where applicable.
Indemnity
To the extent permitted by law, you indemnify Mkhonto Resources against claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs arising from your unlawful website use, breach of these terms, misrepresentation, unauthorised submission, infringement of third-party rights or introduction of harmful content.
Changes and termination
We may update the website or these terms from time to time. The effective date will identify the current version. Continued use after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We may suspend or restrict access where reasonably necessary for security, maintenance, legal compliance or suspected misuse.
Governing law and disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of South Africa. The parties should first attempt in good faith to resolve any dispute through written engagement. Subject to any mandatory consumer jurisdiction, the courts of South Africa have jurisdiction.
If any provision is invalid or unenforceable, it will be limited or severed to the minimum extent necessary without affecting the remaining provisions. A failure to enforce a right is not a waiver of that right.
