with tenacity
‘Do what you love, and you
will never work a day in your
life.’ This saying fits like a
tailor-made garment for

n an interview with Mining Mirror, Sentsho
talked about her passion and involvement in the
mining industry. She holds a law degree from Wits
University, but reluctantly revealed that growing up, she
wanted to be an actress.
She ended up as an investment analyst, while a
mining project that landed on her desk sparked her
interest in the industry. She had never dealt with a
project of this nature and had to make several enquiries
about how to approach it. “The more I learnt, the more
intrigued I became,” she said with enthusiasm. After
completing the project, the company she had done the
project for was so impressed, they asked her to join
their organisation.
How it all started
