Finally, I now have a platform where people will get to understand the work that I do. We have been looking for such a platform where we can also share our experiences. Thank you Mineworker Magazine and wishing you all the best. Well done on coming up with such a brilliant publication.

It is great to see a woman leading Mineworker Magazine as women give birth by nature, the birth of the magazine is exciting. There are many stories to be covered in the magazine and finally those stories will be heard. The plight of ex-mineworkers will also be heard and hopefully they will finally be compensated. It is time that women lead and we are looking forward to reading the magazine. Halala Mineworker Magazine Halala.

I went to the mines as a young boy ndandingekoluki nokoluka. Ndandiyosebenzela ukuba ndibene mali ndoluke kodwa kwabakho istrike sabuya kodwa zange sizifumane zonke iimali zethu. Sabuya nje baqhubeka ubomi. Singathanda ukuncedakala sifumane imali yethu kwaye kuninzi esinokuthetha ngobomi base Goli ezi mine. UThixo aniphe amandla okusebenzela abantu niyi Mineworker Magazine.

All the best with Mineworker Magazine, continue doing the great work. Wishing everything of the best.
