I joined RheinMetall denel munition in June 2014. I have worked in various plants, producing different products for 60mm, 80mm, and 120mm mortars. My responsibilities include filling empty shells with RDX, fitting fuzes, tail fin charges, and primary cartridges. I have also worked on the fuze assembly line, primary cartridge filling, and augmenting charge forming , including filling propellant and stenciling.


In my supervisory role, I oversaw the 155mm artillery manufacturing process, ensuring that my team adhered to occupational health and safety regulations, followed process manufacturing instructions, and produced quality products that met set targets.
