Abstract:
Women employment is a key factor to any country’s development – Women are a resource available for a country to engage in productive activities
The post-1994 South African government has been pro-active in coming up with legislation to encourage women employment in formal sectors of the economy
Specific to mining, government came up with a Mining Charter that specifies women employment targets in the sector.
Despite the women progressive legislation, women still face challenges working in the sector.
The emergence of 4IR would either reduce or add onto this challenges - This is the aspect of research interest presented in this paper.
