From the sugar and petrochemical industries to eight years at Yara Animal Nutrition, Nomzamo Mavuso's journey into production has been fuelled by purpose and passion. Today, her daily work includes toolbox talks, safety inspections, audits, risk assessments, and championing HESQ performance across the plant.
For her, one of the proudest milestones has been witnessing a shift in safety culture—seeing people take ownership and watching the plant achieve zero ISO non-conformances and earn stakeholder recognition.
She believes women bring vision, empathy, and drive to operations—traits that are vital in agriculture and manufacturing. Her message to women considering the sector? “We need more of you. If you lead with intention, you’ll go far.”
