| dc.description.abstract | The South African Mining industry remains one of the key economic drivers in the country’s economy. There has been a lot of progress made in transforming the industry by the inclusion of black people and women, however persons living with disabilities remain underrepresented in the industry. This study aimed to investigate the means that could increase the representation of persons living with disabilities by answering the following questions i. How do perceptions towards people living with disabilities impact their representation in the mining industry in South Africa? ii. What is the impact of the legislative framework on the employment of people with disabilities in the mining sector? iii. What are the main barriers to the inclusion of people with disabilities in the mining sector in South Africa? 12 participants were part of the interviews, which were put through a thematic analysis, and the main findings highlighting the perceptions of persons with disability in the industry, and the challenges & barriers that they face. The findings further give recommendations on how these barriers & challenges can be overcome | |
