Taught me the open cast mining as a millwright, worked a lot with big machinery.
as a learner millwright I used to go to different sections on the mine, therefore learning from different artisans. I worked at trucks where I worked with Komatsu 920s and 730s, worked with both electrician and fitter, which taught me a lot. I then went to drills where I worked with a master millwright he taught me a lot about being a millwright, I later worked at the plant with millwrights which was a great exposure for me. all these sections were willing to help me become a great millwright and I cant wait to learn more and more in different companies and different environments.
Pros: exposure was worth it.
Cons: long working hours and shifts

Excellent big company to work for
Review all safety procedures,working in a group of 20 people is better because of close relationships, becoming like a family. Working from 7 - 4 and you can go home and relax with your family. The work is hard ,physical and can become monotonous.The company organising fun days to relax and do team building.
Pros: Big company
Cons: Hard physical work.

I am currently appointed as an HR Advisor at a Mine in the Northern Cape.
A typical day at the workplace includes engaging with employees, management and stakeholders such as Trade Unions on a daily basis in order to provide assistance and resolve challenges. With excellent interpersonal skills and a high level of emotional intelligence building positive relations forms an important part of what I do. I have very good relationships with co-workers, employees, management and stakeholders. I've been with this Company for 18 years and have grown and developed a loth through what I have learned here. It is an excellent Company to work for however it is important I feel to explore other opportunities in order to improve and to continue to develop.
Pros: Very good systems for succession and development including other company benefits for employees

Exciting and extraordinary journey
People-oriented individual who starts the day with a glance at previous day performance. On my arrival at work I create an awesome day by greeting colleagues and friends, finding out about their wellbeing and that of their families. I then thank and recognize everyone for previous day performance. I have learned that giving people individualized attention motivates and encourages team members to give discretionary effort in their work. I enjoy the renewed focus brought by the drive for benchmark performance. The most challenging aspect of the job is to influence everyone to rally behind a common goal
Pros: Great opportunity for learning and career growth
Cons: Existence of cliques and name dropping

Great learning curve and focus on the ball
Kumba is a great company to work for. The learning experience and robust effect of getting work done actually fullfils a person. Training and development is what i have experience most on in the OD field. i have recently acquired the Human Resourcing experience. This field is so broad, the learning here is huge especially for a big company like Kumba. The challenge is the capacity compared to the clients we serve.
Pros: Great learning curve
Cons: Working under pressure and lack of capacity to serve
