JWANENG: Onalenna Candie Godie leads a team of close to 400 engineers at Jwaneng Mine, the world’s largest diamond mine by value, which is also undergoing a multi-billion Pula expansion.

The senior mining engineer is at the top of her game and enjoying the challenge in a field heavily dominated by and associated with men and masculinity.

As a senior mining engineer, Godie’s job puts her at the heart of the massive Cut 8 expansion project which Debswana is banking on to produce about 100 million carats and push the Jwaneng Mine’s lifespan to at least 2024. Mining engineers’ responsibilities include ensuring that underground resources are extracted safely and efficiently.
