ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM LIMITED – MOGALAKWENA MINE UPDATE

05 September, 2016

In response to a press release issued by ActionAid, Anglo American Platinum confirms that its Mogalakwena mine is operating normally following an isolated incident by a small number of community members from the Ga Molekana village who temporarily blockaded roads leading to the mine early this morning and set a truck alight on a public road.

The Mogalakwena mine management is working with the community Task Team, which was set up in conjunction with the South African Human Rights Commission in 2015, to address the community concerns and ensure on-going engagement.  This recent incident appears to be linked to an internal community dispute on representation.
