Mining Weekly reports that Anglo American has appointed nonexecutive director Nolitha Fakude as chairperson of Anglo American South Africa’s board, effective 1 September.
She succeeds Norman Mbazima, who announced his retirement in April. Anglo CEO Mark Cutifani remarked on Wednesday: “We welcome Fakude to our global executive team in a key strategic role that draws together our extensive business interests as the largest mining company in South Africa. Her breadth of experience at Sasol and her board experience with us and other major organisations stand her in good stead as we build upon our sustainable partnerships with all our stakeholders in South Africa.” Fakude said she was proud to join Anglo in an executive capacity and was looking forward to working with government and regulators to help set up SA’s mining industry for long term success. The CEO of Anglo subsidiary Kumba Iron Ore, Themba Mkhwanazi, will also join the Group Management Committee of Anglo, effective 1 August.
