Abstract
The South African mining sector has traditionally been a labour-intensive sector. However, to keep abreast with global competition, there has been an increase in the shift towards mechanisation and automation - a shift that holds implications for the skill and competency requirements in this sector, write Angelique Wildschut and Tamlynne Meyer.-
