ANCWL2.jpg ANCWL Statement, 7 October 2016 Attempts of State Capture by Anglogold Ashanti and Sibanye The African National Congress Women's League (ANCWL) has observed recent attempts of state capture by AngloGold Ashanti and Sibanye Gold. The Chairperson of AngloGold Ashanti Sipho Pityana and Sibanye Gold CEO Neal Froneman have been consistently raising the views of their companies, calling for the democratically elected State President of RSA to step down. Any attempts by any facilitators of monopoly capital to have a coup d'état in South Africa must be exposed and be rejected by patriotic loving South Africans. The ANCWL calls on the Ministry of Mineral Resources to convene urgent meeting with the majority shareholders of AngloGold Ashanti and Sibanye Gold to clarify the process of electing and removing a State President in South Africa and warns them against their businesses of advocating for regime change in South Africa. Should the views raised by Chairperson of AngloGold Ashanti and CEO Sibanye Gold be their personal views, the shareholders of these companies must distance themselves from this opportunistic, demagoguery, populist and grandstanding and call this gate-keepers of capitalism which is thriving through the blood and sweat of the poor and working class to order. The ANCWL calls Sipho Pityana and Neal Froneman to divert their misplaced energies on ensuring that their mining houses comply with the following: • Mining ownership, • Employment Equity, • Human Resource Development, • Procurement and Enterprise Development, • Beneficiation, • Host mine community development (including labour-sending areas) • Housing and living conditions of mine workers, and • Sustainable development and growth of the mining industry. Business sector in particular mining houses i.e. AngloGold Ashanti and Sibanye Gold must be reminded that channels of communication between business and government are open and engagements take place continuously in a healthy and constructive manner. Good relations between mining houses and government is of paramount importance in growing SA struggling economy therefore no mining house must be fixated into regime change agenda as if its their licence to operate.
