On March 26, the ceremony was successfully held again at the mine. Staff gave various presentations about health and why it matters. Mine manager Mr. John-Ross van Nel welcomed all the guests, especially the CEO gave an opening speech.

Ms. Lin van der Westhuizen, CEO of PMG Mining, addressed the meeting. The following can be cited:

"Why is there a Wellness Day? It's because health is the most important part of our lives. Without health, you will lose your life. COVID-19 has focused attention on the importance of health in life. This day helps It's about how we focus on how we can help us become healthy people, both physically and mentally. This is the most important way to live.


Today's social environment, with increasing stress, is becoming increasingly complex and unpredictable. If you don't live and work with a positive attitude, you won't be able to face life's challenges; you'll be emotionally exhausted, suffer from low self-esteem, blame yourself for things, and even begin to doubt your abilities. You become suspicious of those around you. In the long run, such emotions can lead to physical and mental illness.


Therefore, we must emphasize the fact that we must always be willing to learn and be open to eliminate and resist disease in order to be a healthy human being.


Some people still refuse to wear masks in public because they say they prevent them from breathing fresh air. But they forget one very important thing: To breathe fresh air, we must have a healthy body, healthy lungs and be alive.


***, I urge everyone to remember in public:

Maintain a safe social distance.

wash your hands.

Wear a mask.


You are protecting not only your own health, but also the health of your family and the health of society. Thanks! "

PMG Mining Health Day address.

Mine's legal appointees address employees separately and the broader health of employees. Practitioner Dr Vivian Kgatle shared this perspective from a doctor's perspective and reminded staff of their physical health and its importance, but stressed that equally as important was any individual's mental health. She paints a picture of a sick man she met in her career because the man believed he would recover if the "sick" limb was amputated. He did it. The limb was amputated and his condition improved immediately because it was his belief. Moral of the story: Your mind is a powerful tool, use it wisely and positively. This is also the message of occupational hygienists.

Hygienist Mr. Meshack Dikana mentioned psychosomatic diseases that Dr. Vivian also mentioned. Many times we are physically unwell due to physical discomfort, or even financial stress, which can lead to emotional "discomfort". These can all have knock-on effects, so "health" should be viewed holistically.

He advises everyone to get to the root cause and work with it and get back on track. They all talked about financial health, but Mr. Jason Qian, the financial manager, explained it in detail and gave advice to all employees who are financial experts on how to achieve financial health and how it can affect other aspects of health. This is also an important aspect, as an "unhealthy" financial situation can also have a huge impact on all other factors.

Employees participating in the PMG Mining Health Day.

Mr. Van Nel addressed the employees mainly on their physical health. He talked about the importance of exercise and the message that everyone is designed in their own particular way, and what is good for one may not be good or necessary for another. We each have our own "needs" when it comes to our health. In addition, he gives us 4 tips to always keep in touch with us to ensure a balanced lifestyle that will greatly contribute to the well-being of our entire community and the province as a whole.
