In an exclusive comment to Briefly News, WIMSA chairperson Raksha Naidoo says:

"Data from the Minerals Council of South Africa shows that between April and June 2022 - 18% off employees at mining operations were female. Compared to the same period this year, which has now increased to 25%."

"There needs to be a lot more transformation in the sector. Work needs to be done at all levels of the industry and done as a collaboration between government, mining houses, unions and universities. More education needs to be done for young girls to learn about the world of mining and to get them excited about STEM subjects."
