“People think being a miller is for men. It’s doable for women. It can be physical, but I did a lot of sports at school and am very active, so it’s easy for me to go up ladders and run up and down the stairs.”

“Women that want to go into milling need to be good at numbers, be practical, but also think outside the box and be good at problem-solving. Most importantly, you must be open to understanding the mechanical and electrical aspects. I didn’t know anything when I started, but I was willing to learn.”

Nomfusi further notes that she enjoys being a pioneer, and inspiring women looking to take on jobs that people previously thought were only for men.

Many online peeps were wowed by a woman taking on a male-dominated role, and in the comment section, they expressed how inspired they were by the tenacious lady:

Briefly News also wrote about women in Mzansi who are breaking glass ceilings and slaying in the construction industry.

Female builders work hard to put food on the table for their families, grinding tirelessly in their hard hats, often while raising kids or studying at the same time. Many of these hard-working builders inspire South Africans with their strength and determination to make something of their lives.
