JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – Platinum miner Lonmin has launched a youth cadet programme to train 500 young people from the Bapo ba Mogale traditional community in basic mining skills.

Launched as part of South Africa’s Youth Month, the programme would span over three months, preparing the trainees for employment at local mines in Rustenburg, Marikana and Brits.

“This cadet programme is a great start in preparing the Bapo youth to acquire the necessary skills to enter the mining industry,” Bapo ba Mogale community spokesperson Vladimir Mogale said.

Lonmin executive communications and public affairs VP Lerato Molebatsi added that the company was “delighted” to launch the programme with its host community the Bapo ba Mogale, as unemployment, inequality and poverty were constant challenges in the North West.
