What contribution do you see yourself making to the Young Professionals Council and the SAIMM? :
Brilliant young people in Africa have astonishing ideas, and sadly they are expiring without being brewed. The connection between such young marginalised aspiring professionals is clearly difficult to grab. Besides furthering the objectives of SAIMM as an organisation, I intend to seek progress in the minerals industry by reducing inequalities, providing opportunities and improved learning experiences.
