Alfred Mkhonto is living proof that with dedication and the right support, dreams can become reality.

Now in his final year of a Bachelor of Science degree at the Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria, Alfred’s academic journey has been made possible by a full bursary from Limberg Mining Company (LMC).

A Dream in Focus

With a natural curiosity for how things work, Alfred dreamt of one day joining the mining industry. That dream has now become more focused — he hopes to become a senior metallurgist at ChromTech, contributing meaningfully to the sector that helped pave his path.

“After lectures I usually study from 9pm to 2am every day,”
says Alfred with quiet determination.

His long hours and unwavering focus reflect both his ambition and gratitude for the support he’s received.

The Impact of Support

Awarded in his second year of study, Alfred’s bursary from LMC has covered:

• Accommodation
  
• Meals
  
• A monthly stipend
  

This financial support has allowed him to focus entirely on his studies, without the strain of financial worry. It’s an opportunity he doesn’t take for granted.

From a young age, Alfred was drawn to the world of engineering. Today, he is building the foundation of a future in mining that once seemed far away.

Investing in the Future

Limberg Mining Company is proud to support students like Alfred – young individuals who are not only shaping their own futures, but also helping to shape the future of the industry.

By investing in education and nurturing emerging talent, LMC reaffirms its belief that meaningful change starts with opportunity, mentorship, and belief in potential.
