Daphney Majola, our Site Manager at Pilanesberg Platinum Mine in Rustenburg, hails from Motlhabe (Moruleng) and studied Mining Safety at TR Consultant – Chamber of Mines.
Daphney initially began her tenure as a spotter, tally clerk and environment safety rep and was promoted to become the very first female safety officer at PPM. Today she is the first female Site Manager for Probe IMT at the Pilanesberg Platinum Mine and an inspiration to many.
Daphney’s passion for people has seen her become a role model within her community. Her role at Probe IMT may be deemed challenging for most women; however, Daphney’s perseverance harbours a mindset that women in mining are a formidable force, and they can take on huge roles.
Daphney specialises in the installation and maintaining of the collision avoidance systems in heavy and light-duty vehicles. She is at home with safety management principles, task observation, emergency preparedness, programme evaluation, security philosophy, risk management, ergonomics, planned inspections, explosives safety and auditing skills.
Daphney aspires to see herself as a shareholder, motivating African women to reach their potential as leaders. Her message to women in the South African business community is to continue learning, become independent, and grow your organisation with strength and a constructive mindset.
August is an opportune month to reflect on the important role women play in supporting a sustainable future. We celebrate our female colleagues who have defied odds and are nurturing viability in the workplace and in their respective positions as “thought leaders”. We celebrate their mindset shifts, and the outcomes we have obtained in our women empowerment drive as an organisation. We celebrate their strengths and abilities, and their contribution to the success of their home and society at large.
To our female colleagues and the women of South Africa, Probe IMT celebrates YOU as a formidable force, as trailblazers, as changemakers, as creators and as nurturers.
We are because YOU are.
Gert J. Roselt
CEO Probe IMT
