On 2 October 2026, Tozama Kulati Siwisa addressed the workforce at West Wits Mining’s Qala Shallows mine at the launch of the Khumbul’ekhaya Family Season Safety Campaign. Management, the National Union of Mineworkers and the Department of Mineral and Petroleum Resources came together to recommit to one principle: every mineworker returns home unharmed, every day. Speaking in front of the “My Pledge to Zero Harm” wall, which workers had signed, she widened the meaning of safety beyond the workplace to gender-based violence. She noted that it affects men as well as women, and she encouraged everyone to look out for one another at home just as they do underground. Her message gave the campaign mottos, “Your safety is my safety” and “Safety first – no shortcuts”, a deeper meaning for the festive season, when risks rise on and off the job.
