THE Government has been urged to continue capacitating women in mining and enhance their contribution to the economy.
Kamativi Mining Company safety officer Ms Lorraine Katekwe said this in a recent interview.
“As a woman in a male-dominated industry, I faced scepticism and doubt from some of my colleagues,” she said.
“However, I refused to let their negativity hold me back. Instead, I used it as fuel to drive my success. I believe if others get the same opportunity I got, we can indeed improve Zimbabwe’s economy.”
Women, she said, are capable of excelling in any sector.
“Women are powerful, capable and deserving of a seat at the table.
“We must take up space, assert our voices and demand to be heard. The mining industry needs more women like me, and I am proud to be paving the way for future generations.”
