WHAT DO YOU THINK , AND HOPE , THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR WOMEN WORKING IN THE SECTOR ?
Liezl Davies : “ We have now moved to a stage where we have women in a host of very important roles - at almost all of our levels there are women in operational areas . I tell our women they have a responsibility not only to themselves but towards the girls who will be the women of the future to create a mining environment filled with opportunities . They can be the ground-breakers for the next generation to come .”
