AMSA last year shut a steel mill, citing competition from so-called mini-mills that use scrap metal as their feedstock rather than iron ore. The company, which still runs Africa’s biggest steelmaking plant south of Johannesburg, has demanded the government end a 20% tax on the export of scrap, which it says reduces the cost of the material for its rivals.
