Internship is a plus for Lebogang

Electrical Engineering Intern Lebogang Mothoa says the Internship at Khanye Colliery has been an insightful experience.

Lebogang’s career path began with a fascination of how power is generated to electrify household appliances like stoves and irons. This inspired the 25-year-old from eNkangala to study Electrical Engineering at the Tshwane University of Technology. She started her internship at Khanye in 2022, just a year after graduating with a National Diploma.

Having completed matric at a technical high school, Lebogang received a solid foundation before pursuing her varsity studies. Lebogang believes the opportunity to work in a mining environment has been a great experience for her to broaden her knowledge base and prepare her for a lucrative career. “Being here is a good experience for me.

It has always been my goal to work in the mining industry. Since arriving at the mine, I’ve learnt a lot and realised that there are opportunities in mining that I was not aware of,” says Lebogang. Lebogang is currently in the process of getting her GCC Mines & Works certificate from the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy. After being issued with the license, she will be officially qualified to opperate machinery.
