Mynwese is dalk vir baie \u2019n \u201cmansw\u00eareld\u201d, maar Kropz meen dit is \u2019n sektor waar vroue kan uitblink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n Weslander <\/i>het met vroue wat by die fosfaatmyn werk oor hul ondervinding in di\u00e9 sektor gesels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die Hopefielder Unita Loubser s\u00ea sy het nooit gedink sy sou eendag by \u2019n plaaslike myn werk nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk het in 2016 by die Rainbow-hoenderplaas gewerk toe ons gehoor het van die myn wat sou oopmaak. Ek het die advertensie vir werkers met rybewyse gesien. Ek het destyds \u2019n kode 8-lisensie gehad,\u201d verduidelik Loubser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Deesdae staan sy (letterlik) aan die stuur van \u2019n gelede stortingsvragmotor of ADT<\/span><\/i>. Die groot vragmotor kan 40 of 60 ton dra. Loubser s\u00ea sy geniet elke oomblik van haar werkdag. \u201cElke dag is anders en dit is so interessant! Die skofte is 12 uur lank, maar jy voel dit nie eens nie. Ons ken nie regtig mynwerk hier aan die Weskus nie en dis iets heeltemal nuut. Dit is nie ondergronds nie en ek het al so baie geleer,\u201d verduidelik sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Di\u00e9 Hopefielder verduidelik haar werk vereis \u2019n spesifieke stel vaardighede en baie fokus. Sy s\u00ea hoewel mynwese tradisioneel as \u2019n \u201cmansw\u00eareld\u201d beskou word, staan sy en haar kollegas van die skoner geslag vir niks terug nie. \u201cDie mans by die werk sal inspring en help as dit nodig is, maar ons staan vir niks terug nie. Ruimte word vir ons as vroue geskep en daar is nie \u2019n verskil tussen hoe ons en die mans by die myn hanteer word nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Loubser s\u00ea sy het nog baie planne vir haar loopbaan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Haar ambisie is om agter die stuur van die 100-ton 777-sleepvragmotor te wees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy s\u00ea hoewel sulke vragmotors nie juis aan die Weskus gebruik word nie \u2013 \u201cWeskus-grond is te sanderig\u201d \u2013 is dit haar droom om een te bestuur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk wil nog baie groot hoogtes hier bereik en hier aftree,\u201d vertel sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vir Megan Julies was die w\u00eareld van mynwese ook \u2019n heel nuwe uitdaging. Julies, ook van Hopefield, het in 2017 by die myn gewerk, maar soos baie ander is sy afgel\u00ea toe Kropz veranderings by die aanleg moes aanbring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy het egter verlede jaar \u2019n oproep gekry om te vra of sy wil terugkom en Julies s\u00ea sy het die geleentheid aangegryp. Vandag is sy \u2019n stoorklerk verantwoordelik vir toerusting by die aanleg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEk het nou gesien daar is niks wat \u2019n man kan doen wat \u2019n vrou nie kan doen nie. Met die opleiding het ek gesien mans en vroue is gelyk. Vroue kan sonder twyfel ho\u00eb poste in mynwese beklee, al dink mense mynwerk is net vir mans,\u201d meen sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Julies se opleiding het veral veiligheid behels \u2013 iets wat by \u2019n myn noodsaaklik is om te handhaaf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBy die werk gaan dit oor die werk. Veiligheid is so belangrik, want aan die einde van die werkdag wil almal in een stuk by die huis kom. Wanneer ek weer by die huis kom, is ek \u2019n vrou en \u2019n ma en dit is vir my net so belangrik,\u201d verduidelik sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Malcolm May, Kropz se gemeenskapskakel\u00adbeampte, was dit belangrik om lede van die plaaslike gemeenskap te bemagtig en veral ook vir vroue geleenthede in die sektor te gee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mynwese is dalk vir baie
