notes: On 4 September 2020, workers from different smeltering companies demonstrated outside the Chinese Embassy in Pretoria (City of Tshwane, Gauteng) demanding the Republic of China to smelt raw minerals in South Africa instead of transporting the minerals to China to be smeltered. The demonstrators accused the country of costing South Africa thousands of jobs due to not smeltering the minerals locally. [size=no report]
