A Blast Master

Two weeks ago, his brilliant innovation won him honours at the first ever awards at the Orapa and Letlhakane Mines. He won 'Out of the Box Diamond Award' and the overall Centurus Award for his creation of pipes that protects the mine walls from damage during blasting. For a man who joined the mines as a driver operator in 1978, Mosu has definitely come a long way.

He joined the Debswana after working in the gold mines in South Africa where he studied part-time to get the Standard Seven certificate. Back in Botswana he did his secondary education privately and then got a diploma in Trainer Development from UNISA through distance learning. After the diploma, he was promoted to a senior mining supervisor in 1984. He continued to study and excel in different courses sponsored by Debswana.  In 1989, he became a mining foreman and in 1991 he was promoted to drilling and blasting foreman.
