Daily routine at Afrisam started wirh early morning meeting ,then maintenance on conveyors, screens, crushes ect. In case of breakdowns, that gets priority. Relationship wirh co workers were good, assisting with boiler and fitter work. Futher educate myself by attending courses like Supervisor Developnent. Enjoying challenges to fix problems quick and sufficient so rhat the plant can run when under pressure.

Pros: Opportunity to educate yourself further
Cons: Trying to keep the pumps running in the raining season

I have learned alot at Afrisam. I work very well with my colleagues.

Afrisam is a company that does not look after the staff. Safety is the company's first and most important thing. Opportunities are not up to scratch.

Pros: People's safety first
Cons: Opportunity to grow not so good
