Kropz Bursary South Africa 2025
ABOUT THE BURSARY PROVIDER – KROPZ
Kropz-Elandsfontein (Pty) Ltd (also known as Kropz) is a South African company responsible for the processing and mining of Rock phosphate. Elandsfontein is an open-pit phosphate mine within the Western Cape.
The company hosts the country’s second-largest phosphate deposits, which are low in both cadmium and various heavy metals. This allows fertilizers to be produced for food security and sustainable agricultural practices.
Kropz is working on the development of a project through its subsidiary Kropz Elandsfontein, with aid of African Rainbow Capital (ARC) fund.
Kropz secured the right for the Elandsfontein phosphate project from the Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) in 2015, as well as the mining right within the same year.
