What a week it’s been!
Mining Indaba 2026 broke records with its biggest turnout yet, under the theme “Stronger together: Progress through partnerships”.
AFGRI and John Deere were proud to be at the heart of these conversations — expanding our community, growing our customer base, and showcasing why John Deere is the fastest-growing construction and mining brand on the continent.
Pieter Nel, Operations Manager for John Deere Construction & Forestry at AFGRI, highlighted that the brand was going “bigger and better than ever before,” inviting attendees to visit John Deere & AFGRI at the ONYX Hotel opposite the CTICC to discover the latest innovations, connect with the team, and see how John Deere is shaping the future of mining through partnerships and technology.
With the launch of the 944X Wheel Loader, 724 P-Tier Coal Spec Loader and the 325 Skid Steer, John Deere’s expanding portfolio ensures that all applications are covered, backed by innovation and a legacy of trust. Investment with John Deere is secure, and the future is built on a strong foundation.
Our 10 dedicated Construction branches across South Africa are dedicated to supporting the mining and construction industry, and our expansion into Kenya and Uganda marks the next step in building a stronger network across Africa.
Together, we’re not just part of the dialogue — we’re shaping the future of mining.
