After passing my Electrical Trade Test in 2008, I was fortunate to start working as an Electrician at Anglo Kumba Iron Ore Thabazimbi in the Power and Water Distribution section. Some of my responsibilities started with maintenance of the mine's Primary and Secondary Crushers and conveyors, boreholes and water distribution dams and whilst learning the distribution network, started with maintenance on the 11kV distribution lines as well. During this time, I had the privilege to assist in a 3.3kV Drill Rig re-built project. As my experience grew, I was asked to start relieving as Shift Supervisor for various shifts.I saw an opportunity at the 6.6kV P&H Shovel Section, as the availability of the shovels were very low at that time, and asked if I could be transferred to that section. The biggest contributor to unavailability of the shovels was due to trailing cable faults. After research on TDR (Time Domain Reflectomatry), I found a solution to identify and locate the cable faults quicker, and brought the availability up from 30% to 70% in 3 months. I was very humbled to receive a Certificate in the Achiever Category as Best Artisan in Mining 2014. After the closure of Thabazimbi mine at the end of 2015, I was transferred to Shishen Iron Ore in the Northern Cape and started working on the Liebherr 996 Shovels. At the beginning of 2016, I was fortunate to start working at Anglo Platinum Amandelbult.
