Harmony appoints senior executive to oversee safety
Johannesburg. Monday, 1 August 2011. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited
(“Harmony” or “the Company”) today announced that Alwyn Pretorius has been appointed
Executive: Safety and Health, a newly created executive position, the focus of which is to
accelerate the execution of Harmony’s safety and health strategy and to further improve its
safety performance.
Alwyn has been an executive of Harmony for more than four years and is currently the Chief
Operating Officer: North Region (South Africa). He has more than 18 years’ experience in
the mining industry and holds both a BSc Mining Engineering and a BSc Industrial
Engineering.
Jaco Boshoff, currently Executive: New Business and Projects, has been appointed Acting
Chief Operating Officer: North Region, until a new appointment has been made in this
position. Jaco is a geologist with more than 15 years’ experience in the mining industry.
Graham Briggs, chief executive officer, commented: “Safety is a priority at Harmony and
achieving a safe, productive Harmony is something on which we will not compromise. We
have a number of safety initiatives in place that have resulted in excellent safety
achievements in recent years. But, we need to do more. We have decided to intensify our
safety efforts by appointing Alwyn, who has both an extensive understanding of the
underground environment, but also the leadership skills to achieve the step-change in safety
performance that we are seeking. We adopted this approach several years ago at
Kusasalethu. Our approach here was clear – safety first, then production will follow. We are
committed to implementing this across the group.
Both Alwyn and Jaco are knowledgeable and well-experienced and we look forward to their
contributions in their new and related roles.”
