Our People

We believe that our employees are our most valuable asset. The skills and capability of our personnel is crucial for the success of our business and we aim to be an employer of choice in the mining industry.

The safety, health, environment, quality and training committee will establish training programmes for each employee to ensure personal development in a safe working environment.

Training

The Group has a Mine Quality Association (MQA) accredited training facility which provides for skills training in both sinking and conventional development and mining operations. This also covers all lower level training including operation of equipment. Specialised skills such as first aid are outsourced to other service providers. Provision is made for structured development programmes for individuals to progress to shift overseers and mine overseers.

The Group also has an extensive learnership programme for both engineering and mining learnerships. The engineering learnerships cover all the major trades (fitters, electricians, boilermakers and riggers) and participants complete the section 13 qualification. The Group has partnered with a leading training facility in Welkom to provide the theoretical training. Thereafter, training is ongoing onsite.

The Group provides study reimbursement schemes for those wanting to study further within their current line of work. High level development is also provided for selected individuals who may need to complete programmes such as an MBL (or similar programmes) as part of executive development initiatives.
