Foskor is a South African phosphate mining and phosphoric acid producer, and a subsidiary of the Industrial Development Corporation. There is one thing to know before searching for its contact details: its website is currently a holding page while the site is rebuilt, and the only route it publishes is a single mailbox.
Official contact channels
- Published email: [email protected]
- No telephone number is published on the site while the rebuild is in progress
- The holding page states the full site will return, describing the migration as in progress
Numbers for Foskor circulate on business directories, but with the company own site reduced to a holding page there is nothing first-party to check them against, so they are not repeated here. Use the published mailbox and ask for the correct number for the division you need.
Say which division you are contacting in the first line of the email. Foskor runs three separate operations in three provinces, and a message that does not name one has to be routed manually.
What this organisation provides
- Phosphate mining and phosphoric acid production, serving fertiliser and industrial markets
- The company describes itself as a subsidiary of the Industrial Development Corporation, operating since 1951
- Three operations are named on the site: a Phalaborwa Mining Division, a Richards Bay Acid Division, and a Midrand Head Office
The split matters when you make contact. Mining, community and environmental questions relate to Phalaborwa in Limpopo, acid production and port logistics to Richards Bay in KwaZulu-Natal, and corporate, procurement and investor matters to the Midrand head office in Gauteng.
Address and operating information
- Head office: Midrand, Gauteng
- Mining division: Phalaborwa, Limpopo
- Acid division: Richards Bay, KwaZulu-Natal
- The site publishes no street addresses or office hours during the rebuild
Because street addresses are not currently published, confirm the exact address by email before travelling to any of the three sites. Mining and acid production sites are controlled workplaces where access requires an appointment and a safety induction in any case.
Support and escalation routes
- General and divisional enquiries: [email protected]
- Mine health and safety concerns are regulated by the Mine Health and Safety Inspectorate, the statutory authority for accidents and unsafe conditions at a mine
- As an IDC subsidiary, governance and shareholder questions ultimately sit with the Industrial Development Corporation
- Environmental complaints about a mining or acid operation go to the national environment department and the relevant provincial authority
State-owned ownership changes the escalation ladder. Because the IDC is the shareholder, a governance concern that the company does not address has a route above the company itself, which is not the case for a privately held miner.
