In a historic moment for the Federation of Tanzanian Miners’ Associations (FEMATA), John Bina was re-elected as President during the general meeting held on October 10 in Tanga. Marking a unique family achievement, his son, Elmino Bina, was also elected as Youth Vice-Chairman, solidifying the Bina family’s influence in shaping the future of Tanzania’s mining sector.
The election results highlight a continuity in leadership, with John Bina retaining his position as FEMATA President, a role in which he has championed the interests of small-scale miners and strengthened ties between the government and the mining community. His re-election underscores the confidence FEMATA members have in his ability to continue driving growth in the sector.
Elmino Bina’s election as Youth Vice-Chairman brings a fresh generational perspective to FEMATA, symbolizing a shift toward greater youth involvement in Tanzania’s mining industry. His leadership is expected to inspire young miners and bridge the gap between the experienced and upcoming generations in the sector.
This father-son victory represents a significant chapter in the history of FEMATA, with both John and Elmino poised to steer the organization toward further success and inclusivity within the mining community.
