The topic for our June networking luncheon is:

I didn’t see you underground but I smelt you, Boss Missus!

The South African mining industry has been called the ‘last bastion of exclusive male employment’ with limited women’s participation. Traditional and cultural norms are still obstacles.

My intrepid journey in an underground mining city in South Africa.
