Moneyweb reports that SA’s biggest mining company, Sibanye-Stillwater, has confirmed that Richard Stewart has officially taken over as CEO of the group, with effect from 1 October 2025.
Stewart succeeds Neal Froneman, who retired as CEO and executive director on 30 September after more than a decade at the helm. Stewart has been with the group in several senior roles, most recently as chief regional officer for Southern Africa from May 2022. Prior to that, he was group chief operating officer from December 2020, and before that, executive vice president (EVP) for business development.
Froneman’s 12-year tenure saw Sibanye-Stillwater grow into a multinational mining and metals-processing group, becoming one of the world’s largest producers of platinum group metals and a leading recycler of critical minerals. The group also announced the appointment of Mduduzi (Mdu) Bhulose as executive vice president for business development. Bhulose joins from the Public Investment Corporation.
