Khanye’s Human Resources Administrator Lindiwe Aphane believes her open mindedness and love for people led her to industrial psychology. Lindiwe joined the company in August 2023 and looks forward to leaving a lasting mark through her work. “I am easy to talk to, and easy to get along with. My character led me to study industrial psychology and work in human resources,” she says. Upon completing her degree, Lindiwe spread her wings working in HR departments at different companies including a processing plant in Witbank and a mine in Mkhondo (Piet Retief).

In 2020, she lost her job due to Covid 19 lockdowns and returned to Bronkhorstspruit where she grew up. Although this was difficult period for her, Lindiwe bounced back and secured a job with a consultancy company before getting an opportunity at Khanye. “I was always interested in working at this mine. It has been good so far, the people here are welcoming and I think I am settling well,” she says. Lindiwe has a special interest in payroll and employee relations. Her future goals include studying business management.
