Acknowledgements
I would like to thank KPC's management for their kind assistance in enabling me to do this research. I am grateful to innumerable individuals working at all levels of KPC and also to those outside the company for sharing their views and for giving me time, and making this study possible. My special thanks go to Dr David J. Williams for his critical comments on an earlier draft of this paper.
Notes
1. This gendered occupational segregation is common in other organisational hierarchies and is by no means unique to mining.
2. The website of the Gender Water Alliance (www.genderandwateralliance.org) provides free material on gender mainstreaming.
3. A number of organisations provide guidelines on conducting a participatory gender audit (for instance, SNV), while the ILO and others have published useful accounts of their own experiences of undertaking such audits.
