The November 2017 issue of Mining Review Africa has a special feature on “The Southern African Coal Processing Society (SACPS), an organisation committed to ensuring the evolution and advancement of coal processing technologies through education, is preparing to celebrate its 50 year anniversary. In honour of this phenomenal achievement, LAURA CORNISH presents an account of the very first years it was started, the major milestones achieved and some of the special memories worth noting thanks to some of the ‘memoirs’ of founding member Professor DAVID HORSFALL”.

The history of the SA Coal Processing Society was documented by the late Professor David Horsfall. He did not, unfortunately, get to finish the work. You can download a copy of the draft document here.  Any additional information will be welcomed and incorporated into the document.
