The implementation of contops shifts

its a learning organisation with a lot of good working relations amongst employees and management. the company has four operations across the country and they produce un polished and uncut diamonds. the company is also involved with community projects as guided by the social labour plan

Pros: we are always dealing with theft cases as employees are stealing diamonds
Cons: there is sometimes protest actions from the community as they are always looking for employment opportunities

Silica mining

Good learning experience to learn about glass manufacturers and supplying. The company is small and still developing. Silica are all over the world and everywhere. Silica contains small glass particles and that is were our glass comes from. The brown colour beer bottles are direct result of silica sand (amber) no colouring.

Pros: Great learning opportunities
Cons: Long hours

A good platform in building a career.

Working for Cullinan Diamond Mine has been what I know for the past sixteen years as it's what I have done for a greater part of my life. Since it's a company I have worked for a longer period, it has taught me all I know and my experience has been gained here. Being in a supervisory role for longer has built my character and built me to challenge for career prospects. My day comprises of investing my energy for twelve long hours of work at the same time ensuring that we meet our daily production targets. Leading from the frond I have to ensure my subordinates are up to standards with the company's codes of practices. I have learned to understand different personalities as its key to a positive results. The challenge gets to one's nerves when results are not coming your way and you have to pick the morale up. All in all I have enjoyed my time here as a leader in my team.

Pros: Great opportunity for building a career.
Cons: When results are not in your favour

Working in a highly unionized environment

Working at a highly unionized mine keeps you on your toes. You never really know what to expect and you are constantly learning and growing. You are constantly challenged and you always have to be ready.

Pros: Great opportunity for learning
Cons: Rest time not prioritized

I have learned to take care of my safety and for my colleagues safety as well.

I am able to operate the plant, assist in the maintanance of the plant. Attending to any production breakdown and making sure that the problem is solved. I do daily plant inspections and report any unsafe acts or conditions found.

Pros: I will bring the skill that I have achieved on my previous work.
Cons: I can work long hours or even overtime if needed. I am currently working contops shifts and I don't see any problem with that.
