Digging Deep: Jade Davenport explores South Africa's mining history

"Digging Deep is a story of resilience. It captures the rollercoaster journey the mining industry has been through. Every sector has faced its share of highs and lows and it is that spirit of perseverance that feels deeply embedded in the industry’s DNA."

To celebrate World Book Day, Charles Vivian sits down with Tavistock associate director, Jade Davenport, to discuss the recent publication of the second edition of her book, Digging Deep.

Digging Deep explores South Africa’s great mineral revolution, providing a comprehensive deep dive into an industry that proved influential in weaving the political, economic and social fabric of a society. Jade and Charlie discuss the motivation behind releasing this second edition and consider how the industry can move forward given the long and troubled shadow cast by its past.
