abstract: 'This research study explored workplace challenges that women in the
South African mining sector still face despite progressive gender
sensitive regulations. The purpose of the research was to come up with
evidence-based recommendations on how to promote sustainable gender
equality in South Africa''s mining sector. A survey approach was used for
the research, with a total of 2 365 women working in the mining sector
being interviewed. The main challenge faced by the women was lack of
career progress followed by discrimination in decision making and in
remuneration. Women attributed these challenges to their immediate
supervisors and company policies. A key lesson from the research was
that legislation can be a useful tool in mitigating workplace challenges
for women and reducing gender inequality in the mining sector but it is
not a sufficient intervention. The study recommends that deliberate
steps should be taken to facilitate and impart skills to women that they
need to progress up the employment level hierarchy. This should be done
while at the same time opening up opportunities of higher
responsibilities for women to hold.'
