POPULARITY
We are brave - be brave with us too, please. Raksha Naidoo (WIMSA, Chairperson 2023 - 2024) chats with Unity Makamu (WIMSA 2022 Mentee), Humbulani Havhi (WIMSA 2022 Mentee), Ndamulelo Mutshinya (WIMSA 2022 mentee), and Moyahabo Ntwagae (WIMSA 2022 Mentee) about their experiences as mentees in the Women in Mining South Africa mentoring programme 2022 and asks them what they want mentors to know based on their experiences. These are the key things that they talked about and want mentors to know: Asking someone to be your mentor can feel scary and it takes courage to make the ask - but it turns out that it's not as scary as they had imagined. Mentees want mentors to reciprocate their courage by giving them tough feedback (and positive feedback) so that they can grow and learn as fast as possible. Sometimes mentees don't know what they don't know and despite being committed to self-reflection, mentees sometimes need mentors to guide them and hold their hands, metaphorically speaking, until clarity and self-knowledge are developed. Mentees need their mentors to verbalise their belief in them, to stretch and challenge them, and to help them see the things that they cannot see in themselves - it helps mentees in building their courage and confidence. Sometimes mentees are scared of overstepping the boundaries or don't know where the boundaries are - they need their mentors to help clarify boundaries and what to expect from the relationship. The conversation wrapped up with a note that most mentors will really appreciate - sometimes mentees don't pitch up and it's rarely a reflection of the mentor. Most often it's because of the mentees' own internal struggles and never due to a lack of appreciation for the time and effort that mentors invest in them.

Raksha Naidoo, WiMSA Deputy Chairperson and WIMSA Mentoring Committee member chats with five of the 2022 WiMSA Mentoring Programme mentees (Ndamulelo Mutshiny, Humbulani Havhi, Ntshuxeko Unity Makamu, Vilencia Parsaraman and Moyahabo Ntwagae) about their journey in the mentoring programme. The conversation starts with an emphasis on being intentional and how this philosophy of the mentoring programme has changed the way the mentees show up not just in the mentoring programme, but in their career and their personal lives too. The mentees discuss how the programme has awoken an interest in personal awareness, in asking themselves who they truly are and what they bring to their careers when they manage themselves as a business. A key theme of the programme has been #showupandshine and each mentee talks about how different aspects of the mentoring programme have helped them to do exactly this through quietening their inner critic, managing their career value chain, understanding their thinking preferences and how that influences how they communicate and show up in the world. Vilencia talks about the impact of adopting the philosophy of managing her career as a business. Unity elaborates on how understanding her thinking preferences has helped her engage with more impact. Humbulani shares that the focus on self-care, burnout and setting boundaries reminded her to see the signs of burnout, and helped her raise awareness with her colleagues on the signs. Moyahabo emphasises how the programme helped her to be more introspective and to put herself and her self-care at the forefront. Ndamo shares how the theme on inner critic helped her separate her inner critic from herself and harness the courage to step up and show up. The podcast wraps up with an exploration on the value of mentoring and encouragement to apply for the 2023 WIMSA mentoring programme. WiMSA website · WiMSA LinkedIn

Briony Liber, mentoring Lead for the WIMSA Mentoring Programme, chats with Mbali Milanzi (Tshepa Basadi Group | MD); Melody Mmesetse (WIMSA 2022 mentee and MEng Geotechnical Engineering student); Ndamulelo Mutshinya (WIMSA 2022 mentee and Anglo American Platinum | Section Ventilation Officer) about myths that seem to get in the way of mentoring relationships. Some of the myths that get debunked in this conversation include: - people are too busy to be mentors (it's not true - sometimes you just need to ask); - you need to be impressive before someone will be willing to mentor you (it's not true - in fact, most people start their journey towards being impressive by asking someone to mentor them); - mentors need to know everything and be able to mentor you on everything you want to know (it's not true - there are no unicorn mentors!); - mentoring needs to be formal and it needs to take the form of a meeting (it's not true - mentoring can take whatever form you and your mentor decide will work for you); - mentors are hard to find (it's not true - sometimes we just aren't looking at everyone in our networks as potential mentors). One of the key points made in the conversation is that sometimes labelling someone as your mentor from the start, can add a lot of pressure to the relationship. Probably the most important conclusion in this conversation is that perhaps by dropping the label of "mentor", a more organic relationship can develop that serves the needs of a mentee and eventually grows into a relationship that can be labelled as one of mentoring.

Volunteer nonprofit organisation Women in Mining UK (WIM UK) on November 19 released its biennial 100 Global Inspirational Women in Mining (WIM100) edition, which features a number of South Africa nominees. The WIM100, which was launched by WIM UK in 2013, highlights the wealth of female talent within the global mining industry, celebrates their “above and beyond” contributions to the industry and identifies role models for future generations. The 100 women featured in the 2020 edition were selected in recognition of their inspiring contribution towards a stronger, safer and more sustainable mining industry. This includes making positive and impactful changes, advocacy and a desire to empower others, perseverance in the face of adversity and an ability to find solutions to challenges. Making WIM100’s list of special mentions are Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) CEO Natascha Viljoen, Anglo American Business Improvement Projects head and Women in Mining South Africa (WiMSA) incoming chairperson Petro du Pisani, Gilbarco Mining GM Rumisha Motilal, Harmony Gold Mining FD Boipelo Lekubo, Mosa Green Consulting MD Lehlogonolo Moseri, Moshe Capital CEO Mametja Moshe and Simba Mogodi Mining Incubation Fund CEO Olebogeng Sentsho. WiMSA chairperson and WIM100 2018 alumna Thabile Makgala congratulates these “phenomenal role models” and particularly the South African nominees for being featured in the WIM100. “The WIM100 book continues to inspire and motivate many women around the world, especially women in the mining industry in South Africa. It continues to demonstrate that women are indeed very capable and continue to make a valuable contribution to the mining industry.” Du Pisani adds that WiMSA, as an organisation, is proud of its South African nominees who adhere to the principles of what makes a WIM100 woman. “They are all trailblazers who advocate and empower and they have all persevered in the face of adversity.” WIM UK is dedicated to promoting the employment, retention and advancement of women in the mining sector. The organisation offers a strong international network to progress professional goals and career aspirations and hosts numerous networking, educational and mentoring events to support personal development. Membership is free and everyone is welcome, regardless of gender or location. WIM UK chairperson Carole Cable explains why she is inspired. “We have seen that each WIM100 book we publish inspires more women who work in mining as they see first-hand what others are doing, and [this] gives them food for thought about what they can do to contribute and progress their careers and why this industry is so worthwhile to be part of.” She adds that there is no shortage of professional, capable women in mining around the world, and by showcasing their stories, WIM UK hopes to inspire even more women to enter and progress in the industry so they can contribute to responsible and sustainable mining. “Mining is a critical industry that plays an essential role in the world’s transition to a low-carbon economy and having a truly diverse and inclusive workforce will be vital to make that happen.” WIM UK MD Alex Buck says the WIM100 book is designed to celebrate the contribution that women make to mining across every aspect of the value chain and across all levels of seniority. “Through these amazing stories, we hope to inspire more women to join the industry and demonstrate to a wider group of mining companies, large and small, the value of diversity and inclusion to the long-term success of their business.” She adds that, particularly interesting about this edition of the WIM100, is the increase in the number of women working in sustainability, responsible sourcing, ethics and artisanal and small-scale mining. This, says Buck, is something that is at the top of the agenda for most investors and society at large. “Our hope is that this WIM100 book will go some way to help break the stereotypes abou...
