Acronyms, notes and data sources
Notes
▪ All volume of production data (value add data in the case of the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector) is seasonally adjusted. All other data
is not seasonally adjusted.
▪ The total South African commodity price index is weighted according to the production weights as reported by Stats SA. The PGM group
metals are equally weighted between platinum and palladium. The aluminium price is used for the other metallic minerals component. Mining
segments not included in the price index include: diamonds; chromium ore; copper; manganese ore, nickel, building materials and other non-
metallic minerals.
▪ The methodology utilised by Stats SA and DMR in relation to remuneration data differs in that the DMR includes all income derived due to
employment, such as severance, retrenchment and termination payments as well as income derived from employee share schemes.
Therefore, direct comparisons between remuneration per worker in the mining and manufacturing sectors reported in this document should
be done with great care.
