DISCOVERING BEYOND THE EARTH'S CRUST
Ritluka is a 100% black owned company offering a variety of services in the mining industry of South Africa and neighbouring countries. Founded in 2014, we have gone on to position ourselves as experts in contract mining, drawing from the 50+ years experience of our founders. With diverse backgrounds in mining and geology, we uniquely stand out as a company specialising in both open cast and underground services.
​
The name "Ritluka" means "leaf" in Tsonga, which depicts our commitment to sustainability, a criterion for success which has become increasingly important in the mining sector as resource owners look to enhance their Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) scorecards.
We provide solutions that are tailored to meet each clients' needs. This ensures that we deliver our services optimally, on time and on budget. This ability to meet clients’ needs is further augmented by our commitment to finding innovative, technology-driven solutions designed to help clients extract maximum value from their resources.
