Dr. Singo is a Principal Consultant (Earth Science), and REAP (EAPASA) in the Mining, Agricultural and
Construction sector and currently works for Singo Consulting, an advisory firm based in eMalahleni. He
has over 11 years’ experience in diverse areas of natural resources including Geology, Geochemistry and
Environmental Geochemistry. He is a coal expect with extensive experience of the Waterberg,
Soutpansberg, Witbank, Highveld, and Springbok flats, as well as the Tete (Moatize) coalfield in
Mozambique.
Kenneth holds an MSc in Environmental Geochemistry (University of South Africa (UNISA)), BSc (Hons) in
Mining and Environmental Geology (the University of Venda), and Ph.D. (Geology, Applied Environmental
Mineralogy and Geochemistry) at the University of Johannesburg. Dr. Singo has knowledge of Mine
Water and Mine Environmental Management (acid mine drainage, heavy metal assessments and tailings
management) in various commodities including coal, gold, magnesite and base metals (Cu, Pb, Zn). He
has extensive knowledge of defunct mining waste and waste water impact assessments in communities
residing in the vicinity of those mines. This knowledge was gained through MSc. Kenneth has sound
knowledge of risk assessment, both in terms of human health and the environment. He is experienced in
the appraisal of potential constraints, as well as devising means of mitigation through remedial strategy
development, feasibility and validation.
During his PhD studies, Dr. Singo has learned how to operate within contaminated lands. His PhD largely
focused on disused mines (gold, copper and magnesite) ranging from Phase I and Phase II investigations
to development of remedial strategies (i.e. Phase III). His PhD further equipped him to intensively
understand the waste classification, profiling and understanding of the implications associated with the
management of waste, landfill disposal profiling and development of beneficiation strategies.
