Our People

“Derrick Netshitungulu, Jason Peng, Simon Mothoa and Zamani Dube were recently recognised for going beyond the scope of their normal activities to complete a project on time. Many additional hours were worked to ensure completion without any complaints, working long days, weekends and under very tight deadlines & difficult circumstances.

In line with our values of creating an employee-centred culture that supports the Company’s Mission, with all employees sharing and living our values and creating a positive, high performing and successful organisation, as Management we wanted to show our formal appreciation for the type of behaviour we would like to encourage and as exhibited by them.

We thank these employees for their hard work and dedication and being an example to all of us.”

Martha Sathekge started her career with the Nkwe Platinum Group in 2007 as a secretary & receptionist after obtaining her National Diploma in Logistics Management. During her time with the company, she has persisted in developing herself and achieved her Bachelor of Technology in Logistics in 2015. She has since become the Procurement Administrator in our Technical and Operations Department.

Over her 15 years with the company, Martha has been dedicated and hard working. Her consistent positive attitude has made a huge difference in the Procurement team. It’s rare to come across people who are so committed and passionate. She displays admirable work ethic principles, and we are fortunate to have someone as dedicated as her onboard.

Martha is the proud mother to an 11-year-old boy. She is close with her family and enjoys spending time with them.

Simon Mothoa started his career as a young man in exploration. In 2006 he joined the Nkwe Platinum Limited team. He has since become Site Assistant in our Technical and Operations Department.

Over 15 years, Simon has been instrumental in setting up and maintaining the core shed. He has become a valuable team member during the various stages of the project, from project inception in 2006, right through the exploration phase to the current mine development stage. He is indispensable and a reliable employee who can be trusted to get the job done.

Simon’s family stays in Mokopane. He is happily married and the proud father of 4 adult children.

We congratulate Simon on reaching his 15-year milestone and look forward to Simon’s continued support and dedication for many more years with the company.
