First Black Female Commercial Diver in South Africa. Her experience spans from being a Scientific Diver and Project Coordinator for the South African. Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) – Maritime Archaeology Department (2008 – 2011). At. SAHRA she gained vast experience on Underwater Cultural Heritage Research in and around the. South African coastline. She has been exposed to national and international special projects to improve her craft and. prowess in the industry. Some of the notable assignments include: Underwater Cultural Heritage. projects in the United States of America in collaboration with Iziko Museums, George Washington. University, National Park Services – Biscayne, Projects and Field Schools on and around Robben. Island in collaboration with the Leiden University, CIE International Centre of Heritage. Ratanang also studied towards her National Diploma in Civil Engineering at Walter Sisulu. University (WSU). Her ongoing question to the entire industry structure is: “why employ a diver and an engineer when. you can employ an individual with the combined skills”. In bringing about change, she says: “Very often engineers rely on divers to be their eyes and brains. underwater throughout the lifecycle of a project – however the challenge is such that in most cases. delays occur as a diver is not an engineer and neither is the engineer a diver. This skill shortage has struck my mind to pursue the relevant and necessary qualifications to bridge. the gap. At Transnet, I have worked on a number of civil construction projects and this has further. confirmed my assertion to play a leading role in this regard”. After resigning from Transnet in 2018, Ratanang pursued her own business which successfully. provided support services to the Maritime Industry including, but not limited to services such as. Ship Chandelling, Diving services, General Supplies, etc. When the company was detrimented by. the unfortunate circumstances of the Covid19 pandemic, Ratanang took a decision to explore her. untapped love for real estate by joining Keller Williams Port Elizabeth in 2022.
