Modern Mining August 2024

Forge your future fearlessly with WiMSA In the heart of South Africa’s mining industry, a transformative movement is underway, championed by Women in Mining South Africa (WiMSA). Established in 2010, WiMSA has been a beacon of empowerment, support, and inspiration for women in the mining sector. As we forge ahead, we invite you to be part of our journey—a journey of empowerment, growth, and collective success.

Why Support WiMSA? The WiMSA Symposium: A Catalyst for Change Scheduled for 20-21 August 2024 at the Randpark Golf Club in Randburg, the inaugural WiMSA Symposium is a transformative gathering set to uplift and empower women across South Africa’s mining sector. The Symposium is more than a conference—it’s a commitment to change, providing attendees with the tools, knowledge, and connections to overcome challenges and unlock new opportunities. Career Booklet: Shaping the Future WiMSA has developed a comprehensive career booklet that serves as a vital resource for young

learners, offering insights into the diverse and exciting opportunities within the mining industry. This informative guide is designed to spark interest and passion for mining careers among students, encouraging them to consider this dynamic sector for their future.
