|||Johannesburg - Anglo American on Tuesday announced that Dr Judy Dlamini, a non-executive director, would step down from her position with immediate effect in order to devote more time to her business commitments as chair of Mbekani Group.
Dlamini, an entrepreneur in the healthcare and global pharmaceutical industries, was appointed to the Anglo American board as a non-executive director with effect January 1, 2014.
Chairman of Anglo American, Sir John Parker, said they were disappointed that Dlamini had decided to step down from the Board and that her valued contribution would be missed.
“However, we of course understand the additional efforts she wishes to devote to her business interests,” Parker said.
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to wish her all the very best as she continues to build upon the many successes of her business.”
Dlamini is the wife of National Students Financial Aid Scheme chairperson and and former chief executive of FirstRand Limited, Sizwe Nxasana.
