A day in the life of a mine worker - Samancor - Mining Photographer in South Africa

A short video I made for Samancor Eastern Chrome Mines near Steelpoort. The idea was to capture the daily routine of a mine worker on video. It is called "A day in the life of a mine worker"

Saw the shot firing pattern apparently when 84/85 strike took place many shot firers from Britain went to SA and had to chalk the pattern every day apparently the indigenous population couldn’t seem to remember from one day to the next don’t know why

Americans are great at uniforms...until it comes to providing their workers with hi-vis work gear, steelcaps and safety glasses.

Mining is good, but rather work on the engineering side (electrical, mechanical , process or civil).
