This pivotal conference, held under the rallying cry "Nothing about us, without us, striving for zero harm," aims to address and prioritize the Occupational Health and Safety issues that affect women in the mining industry.

SA, home to some of the largest mines on the continent, is taking significant steps to ensure that the mining environment is not only conducive but also productive for all its employees.

Deputy Minister Judith Nemadzinga of the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources lauded the initiative, stating, "This is a commendable move deserving of widespread support. It is not a threat but a means to ensure that our workers operate in an environment that is both safe and conducive to productivity."
