EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following are the salient points in this report as they relate to the company’s progress towards achieving its Mining Charter obligations of this reporting period: 1. Reporting - The annual 2013 Social and Labour Plan Report was submitted to the Gauteng Department of Mineral Resources on 31 March 2014. This report was internally by Group Internal Audited and externally audited by Ernst & Young Inc. The Company has also submitted its 2012, 2013 and 2014 Mining Charter Reports on the DMR system on 6 March 2015 as was directed by the DMR. 2. Ownership - AGA has managed to achieve 26.8% of Historically Disadvantaged South African (HDSA) representation on ownership, against the Mining Charter target
of 26% HDSA representation by the end of April 2014. This comprises 20.8% ascribed to the sale of assets to African Rainbow Minerals & Exploration PTY LTD (ARM), 4.5% allocation to Employee Share Ownership Scheme (ESOPS) and 1.5% to our Black Economic Empowerment Partner, Izingwe Holdings PTY LTD. 3. Housing and Living Conditions - AGA has achieved 100% compliance target with regards to its hostel conversion programme as outlined in its 2010-2014 SLP by converting hostels into both Single Accommodation and Family Units. The company also completed the additional rooms at Savuka. In pursuance of the Home Ownership requirement, the Company entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with all the organised labour stakeholders. The
proposed plan entails selling of non-strategic housing stock including the 56 newly built houses in Wedela to employees. In order to enhance affordability, consultations have been held with financial institutions and the department of human settlements to unlock government subsidies for purchasers. 4. Procurement and Enterprise Development - With respect to Procurement, as at 31 December 2014, AGA has exceeded all its Mining Charter targets with 62% HDSA spend on Capital Goods against the Mining Charter target of 40%, 70% against the Mining Charter target of 70% for Services and 69% on Consumable Goods against the Mining Charter target of 50%. With respect to Enterprise Development, we have reached an agreement with the Jobs Fund and signed off on the grant agreement to set up the Enterprise Development Centres in Merafong, Matlosana and OR Tambo District Municipality with the main objective of supporting and incubating the Small, Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) in these areas, which will serve as the main sources of employment creation in the above mentioned localities. 5. Employment Equity: The Company has exceeded the 40% HDSA Mining Charter targets at Board (56%), Top Management (43%), Senior Management (40%), Middle Management (54%) and Junior Management (61%) and Core Skills (54%) levels. In 2014 the Voluntary Severance Package process was initiated and a restructuring process at management level as an operational requirement. However, the Region took cognisance of the transformation commitments during this process, and progressed positively in meeting the Mining Charter targets. 6. Human Resources Development – The Mining Charter target of 5% of Payroll Spend on HRD was exceeded, with 6.17% having been achieved. However, the company experienced challenges in the areas of ABET (mainly due to the increase in literacy levels over time resulting in over planning) .In-Service Bursaries (due to lack of nominations as a result of the right sizing exercise at management levels during the second semester of 2013) and the National Certificate Vocational (due to insufficient applications from our Host communities) where we were unable to achieve the 2013 targets. To this end a Section 102/Regulation44 application was made to the DMR on 19 April 2014 to amend the plans accordingly.

7. Mine Community Development - All the Local Economic Development projects that were approved by the DMR, save for those which the company has applied for
amendments thereof in terms of MPRDA Section 102/Regulation44 have been delivered or are in the process of being delivered before the end of December 2014. Having received Ministerial approval with respect to the above mentioned Section 102/Regulation 44 application, the company has subsequently submitted its new plans to the DMR as continued in the “Amendment to the 2010-2014 SLP” submitted to the DMR in September 2014. 8. Sustainable Development and Growth -With respect to Environment Management the company revised and resubmitted its Environmental Management Plans
(EMP) during the fourth quarter of 2011 following the DMR comments on the initial submissions made in 2009. The DMR approved the revised West Wits EMP in 2012 with assessments will be conducted on a two-yearly basis from the date of EMP. Formal environmental performance assessments were conducted & submitted to the DMR in 2014. With respect to Health and Safety commitments, the company also complied with the commitments in the Mining Industry Tri-Partite Action Plan on Health and Safety. One hundred percent of Sampling of the company’s mineral is done locally
9. Beneficiation - The status as reported in 2012 remains the same and we await further guidance from the DMR.
10. Assurance- This report was internally by the company’s Group Internal Audited and externally audited by Ernst & Young Inc.

SECTION 1: PREAMBLE
In this section we address REGULATION 46 (a) of the Mineral Petroleum Resources Development Act (Act 28 of 2002) (MPRDA) which provides that the contents of a Social and Labour plan must include, inter alia, a preamble which provides the background information of the mine in question. The following is a break background of AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) South Africa Region (SAR). The company lodged its Social and Labour Plan (SLP) in compliance with the requirements of the provisions of Section 23 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (Act 28 of 2002) hereafter referred to as the MPRDA, for its mining operations in the West Wits, namely, Mponeng, Savuka and TauTona (DMR References Numbers 1, and 11) on the 30th August 2010. AngloGold Ashanti in compliance with the provisions of Section 23 of the MPRDA lodged its West Wits Social and Labour Plan for the period 2004-2009 on 29 October 2004, which was followed by the second SLP submission for the period 2010-2014 on 31 August 2010. Subsequent to its lodgement of the abovementioned SLP, the company received a directive from the Gauteng Department of Mineral Resources(DMR) in a letter dated 11 July 2011(Ref. GP 30/5/1/2/2 (248) SP), pertaining to its application for the conversion of the Farm Doornfontein 118 IQ (Remaining Extent 12 and Remaining Extent 13) from an old order mining right to a new order mining right, in accordance with Item (7) 2 of Schedule II (Transitional Arrangements) of the MPRDA. The 2010-2014 SLP submission had to be revised in line with the Directives of the DMR which necessitated further consultations with stakeholders with respect to certain aspects contained in the above mentioned Directives. The company subsequently submitted a Revised SLP for the period 2010-2014 to the DMR on 19 October 2011, which was ultimately approved by the DMR 16 October 2012, and registered at Mining Titles Office on 6 December 2012. This subsequently resulted in the granting and execution of the Magnum Farm Mining Right. In accordance with MPRDA Section102/Regulation 44 (Section 102), if changes are required to an approved SLP, an application must be made to the DMR for Ministerial consent. On11 December 2013, the company submitted its Section 102/Regulation 44 application (Annexure 3) for Ministerial consent for the following projects (after consultation with the Merafong Local Municipality and OR Tambo District Municipality). On 19 April 2014, the company submitted a further MPRDA Section 102/Regulation 44 application for Ministerial consent to amend the approved West Wits SLP with regards to proposed changes to three of the Human Resources Development Plans On 19 September 2014, the Company was handed a letter of approval signed by the Minister dated 15 September 2014 by the DMR Regional Manager (Annexure 3). The Company subsequently submitted the Amendment to the 2010-2014 SLP to the DMR Office on 30 September 2014. The LED projects covered in the above mentioned Amendment to the 2010-2014 SLP will therefore run parallel to those covered in this SLP until 2017, or as stipulated in the above mentioned Amendment to the 2010-2014 SLP. Consultations between the company and the DMR have subsequently resulted in an agreement between the parties leading to the amendments to the above-mentioned SLP and the submission of this Revised Social and Labour Plan in respect of the following mining rights:
ML10/2006 and ML04/2012 (Deed of Amendment) (DMR Reference Nr: GP30/5/1/2/2(01) MR) (“West Wits Operation: Mponeng, TauTona and Savuka mines”)
ML 30/2006 and ML15/2011 (Deed of Amendment) (DMR Reference Nr: GP30/5/1/2/2(11) MR) (“Block 1C11”)
ML169/2012 (DMR Reference Nr: GP30/5/1/2/2/248 MRC) (for sand) in respect of the Farm Doornfontein 118 IQ (Remaining Extent 12 and Remaining Extent 13), also known as “Magnum Farm”

1.5 Ownership In this section we address the Mining Charter requirements as detailed below. Mining Charter Requirement: In terms of Ownership the amended BROAD-BASED SOCIO-ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT CHARTER of the SOUTH AFRICAN MINING and MINERALS INDUSTRY states: Effective ownership is a requisite instrument to effect meaningful integration of HDSA into the mainstream economy. In order to achieve a substantial change in racial and gender disparities prevalent in ownership of mining assets, and thus pave the way for meaningful participation of HDSA for attainment of sustainable growth of the mining industry, stakeholders commit to: Achieve a minimum target of 26 percent ownership to enable meaningful economic participation of HDSA by 2014; The only off setting permissible under the ownership element is against the value of beneficiation, as provided for by Section 26 of the MPRDA, as elaborated in the
mineral beneficiation strategy.
The continuing consequences of all previous deals would be included in calculating such credits/offsets in terms of market share as measured by attributable units of production.
The Mining Charter scorecard requirements are indicated below along with the AGA compliance to date.

The revised Mining Charter sets an Ownership Target of 15% HDSA Ownership by 2010 and 26% HDSA Ownership by 2014. Through a combination of ownership transactions with ARM Gold, Bokamoso ESOP and Izingwe Holdings the company has achieved 26.8% HDSA ownership. Ownership & Joint Ventures and the Mining Charter: The “scorecard” which is designed to measure adherence to the mining charter asks the question regarding Ownership & Joint Ventures viz.: Has the mining company achieved HDSA participation in terms of ownership for equity or attributable units of production of 15% in HDSA hands within 5 years and
26% in 10 years? AGA South Africa Region’s Black Economic Empowerment Ownership Status: AngloGold Ashanti’s BEE ownership contribution is measured in respect of transactions with three BEE entities. Sale of assets to ARMgold Limited (ARM): Jan 1998 – Sale to ARM of Vaal Reefs No 1-7 shafts July 1998 – Sale to ARM of Freegold’s Western Holdings shafts 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and Welkom gold plant Jan 2002 – Sale of Free State assets (Bambanani, Joel, Matjhabeng, Tshepong, Jeanette shares, plus surface infrastructure) to ARM/Harmony joint venture. By direction of the then DME/DMR, the “credits” AGA is entitled to claim was calculated by the “units of production” provision of the Mining Charter based on AGA and attributable ARMgold production for the 12 months ended March 2004 – the last production data available at the time AGA applied for the conversion of its mining rights. ARMgold’s attributable production in respect of former AGA assets for that period was 848,602ozs. AGA production at its South African assets in the same 12 month period was 3,232,000ozs. AngloGold Ashanti’s overall HDSA participation in respect of ARMgold is therefore 20.8% (848,602ozs as a percentage of 3,232,000 + 848,602ozs). Employee Share Ownership Plan (ESOP) and Izingwe Holdings: When AngloGold Ashanti was awarded its new order mining rights in 2005, one condition was that it fulfills its undertaking to the DMR that it would introduce an ESOP and carry out a further BEE transaction to complete its ownership obligations in terms of the Mining Charter. That obligation was fulfilled after a period of consultation between AGA and, respectively, the unions representing the approximately 30,000 eligible members of the company’s SA workforce at that time and the leadership of Izingwe Holdings, a BEE company chaired by Sipho Pityana. The transactions were announced in October 2006, involving the transfer of 3 840 000 (25% of them free shares and the remainder E shares operating in a manner similar to share options) to an employee share trust, the Bokamoso ESOP Trust, and 1 400 000 E shares to Izingwe. The transactions were vendor-financed, and there is no possibility of any downside for BEE entities. The ESOP transaction comprised a transfer of 4, 5% ownership in terms of the charter, and the Izingwe Holdings (Pty) Ltd transaction 1.5% this taking AGA’s total HDSA ownership credit to 26, 8%.
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 22 of 232
Between the December 2006 launch date and December 2014, a total of R447 982 025 flowed to members of the Bokamoso Employee Ownership Share Plan. Of this, R14 624 894 was paid in dividends, R377 074 220 as a consequence of the vesting of free and loan shares, and R56 282 912 due to the proceeds of a rights issue in 2009. In the same period our BEE partner Izingwe Holdings received a total of R8 830 500 in dividend flows and R22 252 455 as a consequence of the rights issue. In addition, Izingwe received 39 052 AGA shares as a consequence of the November 2011 vesting date. It is unknown at what price Izingwe sold the shares through its own brokerage house. The share price at which the vesting took place was R358.50. Izingwe received R42 063 633 as a consequence of the November 2012, November 2013 and November 2014 vestings. Due to international market conditions, the prevailing share price was “underwater” at the dates of the vesting of the first two tranches of E shares in November 2009 and 2010. In response to representations from the ESOP trustees (including union representatives) and Izingwe, AGA management took the view that, while not required in any way by regulation, the situation was compromising the spirit of the empowerment transactions. Management entered into a new phase of consultations with the unions and Izingwe. This led to a restructuring of the transactions in a manner that builds in a guarantee of value of R40 per share in respect of vesting E shares, and the reinstatement of lapsed E shares.

SECTION 2: HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT
Mining Charter Requirement:
In terms of Human Resource Development the amended 2010 BROAD-BASED SOCIO-ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT CHARTER of the SOUTH AFRICAN MINING and MINERALS INDUSTRY states as follows: ““The mining industry is knowledge based and thus hinges on human resource development, constituting an integral part of social transformation at workplace and sustainable growth. To achieve this objective, the mining industry must: Invest a percentage of annual payroll (as per relevant legislation) in essential skills development activities reflective of the demographics, but excluding the
mandatory skills levy, including support for South African based research and development initiatives intended to develop solutions in exploration, mining, processing, technology efficiency (energy and water use in mining), beneficiation as well as environmental conservation and rehabilitation; as follows:
Target for 2010 = 3%; Target for 2011 = 3.5%; Target for 2012 = 4%; Target for 2013 = 4.5%;
AngloGold Ashanti’s (AGA) Response to the above: The Mining Charter scorecard requirements are indicated below along with the AGA WW (West Wits) compliance to end December 2014.

The MPRDA requirements are: REGULATION 46 (b) (i) which states that: The contents of a social and labour plan must include the following: A human resources development programme which must include a skills development plan which identifies and reports on – (aa) the number and education levels of the employees which must be completed in the form of “Form Q” contained in Annexure II; and (bb) the number of vacancies that the mining operation has been unable to fill for a period longer than 12 months despite concerted effort to recruit suitable
candidates which must be completed in the form of “Form R” contained in Annexure II. REGULATION 46 (b) (iii) which states: The contents of a social and labour plan must include a mentorship plan and its implementation in line with the skills development plan and the needs for the empowerment groups. REGULATION 46 (b) (v) which states: The contents of a social and labour plan must include a human resources development programme which must include the employment equity statistics which must be completed in the form of “Form S” contained in Annexure II and the mines plan to achieve the 10 per cent women participating in mining and 40 per cent historically disadvantaged South Africans (HDSA) participation in management within 5 years from the granting of the right or the conversion of the old order right. AngloGold Ashanti’s response to the above is: The Human Resources Development (HRD) Strategy of the South African Region (SAR) supports the business strategy and objectives, as well as the South African legislative and regulatory framework that seeks to address the general skills shortage within the country, as well as ensuring equitable representation in the workplace. The company’s Social and Labour Plan (SLP) outlines a variety of HRD initiatives undertaken by AGA. In this document we report against the 2014 commitments made by AngloGold Ashanti (AGA) in the company’s 2010-2014 Social and Labour Plan (SLP). This includes the AGA Employees (18.1), Host and labour sending Communities (18.2) and the State Intervention into the Mineral Sector (SIMS) which in AGA terms is known as Community HRD. Note: For a more detailed Core and Critical Skills Report refer to the EE (Employment Equity) Section of this report
Form Q as required by the MPRDA is hereby annexured as Annexure 3 Form R as required by the MPRDA is hereby annexured as Annexure 4 Form S is contained in Annexure 2 and further explained in the EE Section of this report.
HRD and the Mining Charter The “scorecard” which is designed to measure adherence to the mining charter asks the following questions regarding HRD viz.:
Has the company offered every employee the opportunity to be functionally literate and numerate by the year 2005, and are employees being trained? Has the company implemented career paths for HDSA employees, including skills development plans? Has the company developed systems through which empowerment groups can be mentored?
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 25 of 232
AngloGold Ashanti’s response to the above is that:
The company has offered its employees the opportunity to be functionally literate.
The career path initiative for HDSAs is further explained in this report.
Mentorship is further detailed in this report.
All the above is addressed as follows.
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 26 of 232
2.1 ADULT BASIC EDUCATION AND TRAINING (ABET) - FOR EMPLOYEES (18.1) The company acknowledges the fact that Adult Education and Training (ABET) is the pathway for further development for many of its employees in addition to improving its literacy level. It is therefore imperative that ABET provided by the company is of a high standard and can withstand external benchmarking in form of external examination. During the end of 2013, the pass mark of 40% was increased to 50% which is the IEB’s standard. In view of this adult education and training in AngloGold Ashanti during 2014 has undergone some major changes mainly to ensure improved quality of ABET and ensure that our learners receive education that is transferable outside of the mining industry.
During 2014, ABET programmes (Pre-ABET, ABET 1, 2, 3 & 4), and Foundation Learning Competence (FLC) were presented in the West Wits Area at Tautona and Mponeng’s residences. ABET is provided on a Part-time basis at no cost to employees during their own time. Full Time ABET 4 and Foundational Learning Competence (FLC) are provided to individuals who have been identified to develop by their managers. This gives employees the opportunity to be functionally literate and numerate. During the past years participation in ABET programmes decreased despite the fact that participation has been encouraged by AGA through various mediums such as the Skills Development Committees and Marketing initiatives. The graph below illustrates the decline over a 9 year period.
As is evident from the graph above enrolments for ABET in the West Wits Area has declined. The following measures were put in place to address the decrease in enrolment:
Targeted marketing using posters on notice boards at the business units and residences.
ABET is a standard agenda point at all business units’ skills development committees (SDC) meetings. Graduation ceremonies were held to encourage employees to enroll. Employees were made aware that successful completion of ABET could enhance promotional opportunities as well as the prospect of getting enrolled in skills
programmes or learnerships.

AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 27 of 232
The company submitted a Section 102 application to the Department of Mineral resources during 2014; this stated that the company planned to provide ABET to 708 learners in 2012 and attracted 409, 697 learners were planned for 2013 and we only managed 354. For 2014, the plan was to train 551 learners, however, given the above stated experience thus far it is clear that this target will not be achieved.
As explained at the meeting of 18 March 2014, it was discovered that that data contained in Form Q that was used to develop the ABET plans was found to be inaccurate as many of the employees’ qualifications were not properly captured in the system. Also a substantial number of the employees who are still not functionally literate are over the age 50 and therefore not showing any interest in furthering their education. Finally, many of the new recruits over the last few years have been found to be functionally literate.
Arising from the above and the improvement in Form Q data it has become necessary to adjust the ABET plans for 2014 in line with the current realities that is, reducing the target of 551 learners to 125 learners.
ABET targets from 2010 to 2014 for Employees (18.1): One of the strategies of AngloGold Ashanti is to eliminate illiteracy by way of ABET. It is the organisations intention to annually educate 10% of employees who require ABET. During 2014; 162 individuals enrolled for ABET against the revised plan of 125 for 2014.
The following table shows the AGA Employee ABET (18.1) numbers for 2014 versus that of the reduced plan following the Section 102 application:

ABET MILESTONES Milestone 1: Implement FLC and discontinue NQF 1 full qualification and NQF 2 fundamentals, as per MQA directive. The UMALUZI task team has developed the GETCA (General Education and Training Certificate for Adults) that is equivalent to Gr 9/ NQF Level 1 which is proposed to start in 2016 and will have a 2 year phase in approach. This new GETCA qualification will replace the old GETC (NQF 1) qualification. Progress:
FLC was implemented in both Full-time and Part-time during 2013.
During the 1st quarter of 2014 ABET 4 fundamentals were introduced to replace NQF 1 whilst allowing a transitional period.
Milestone 2: Improvement of literacy levels - 10% improvement year-on-year is planned. Progress: The West Wits Level Literacy reveals that 66% of AGA employees and 33% of the Contractors have ABET 3 or above, and 10% of all the West Wits AGA employees and 62% of all the Contractors in West Wits has “No Schooling”. Of the 10% AGA employees with “No Schooling”, 6% are true illiterates, the remaining 4% consists of employees whose qualifications are still unknown. The AGA Literacy Level for a compliment of 29 980 employees (inclusive of AGA employees and Contractors) shows that in total of 67% of all employees have ABET 3 and above and 13% of employees have “No Schooling” on the HR system (HURIS). Of the 13% with “No Schooling”, 4% are true illiterates; the remaining 9% consists of employees whose qualifications are still unknown. The HURIS system is an in house organisational system which captures such information.

Milestone 3: Improvement of pass rates - 2% year-on-year improvement. Progress:
Note: The 2014 ABET results are not yet available pending results from external examination bodies. The pass rate has declined in 2013 due to external exams that were written at the end of the year. The external exam process was a new concept to the ABET learners and the pass rate was also changed from 40% to 50%. The following strategies were implemented to improve the pass rate during 2014:
1. Increase management involvement and visits to the Part-time ABET centres, to motivate the learners. 2. Benchmarking against other mining houses and liaising with them to standardise and enhance ABET in the mining industry. 3. As from 2014 ABET in AGA has been outsourced to Media Works. 4. Facilitator development in the form of on-going coaching through Media Works.

Milestone 4: Reduction of drop-out rate - 2% year-on-year reduction.
Note: The 2014 ABET results are not yet available pending results from external examination bodies. Progress: The ABET database (EDUCOS) now makes provision for reporting on a modular basis and hence is an accurate measure of the drop-out rates. Due to this implementation, the true drop-out rate has dropped significantly, as can be seen from the graph above. Milestone 5: Phasing out of RPL (recognition of prior learning), except for placement purposes. Progress: A new accurate literacy level report is available and the AGA business units/mines are informed of specific literacy level gaps that need to be addressed. RPL has been completely halted as from July 2013.

Milestone 6: External standard for ABET examinations – ensure that standard is competitive outside of the mining industry. Progress: The ABET standard has been measured and areas of improvement have been identified. External examinations were introduced during 2013. Milestone 7: Implement ABET interventions i.e. Computer Skills & Life Skills. Progress: 128 AGA employees have done both the Computer Skills and the Life Skills training during 2014.
ALTERNATIVE SKILLS TO MINING (ENGINEERING PORTABLE SKILLS) - FOR EMPLOYEES (18.1): AGA provides voluntary skills training programmes to AGA Employees and host community members with skills which are valuable outside of the mining industry through the Engineering Training Centre. The ratio of beneficiaries is 60% employees and 40% community. Portable Skills training helps individuals to attain skills that are not mining industry specific. Upon completion of the training, learners are provided with a certificate that may enhance their chances of securing employment in other industries. The employees and members of the host community are trained in portable skills such as basic plumbing, basic computer skills, basic house wiring, basic bricklaying and basic welding. Training is available during and after working hours for volunteers. Employees and Community members will be entitled to a once off course at no cost to the participant. During 2014, portable skills were provided to 111 employees of whom 97 were HDSA. It remains a challenge to reach the EAP targets (Coloureds and Whites and African females) as set out in the organisations social and labour plan, as the actuals reflect the current company employees profile and the training is done on a voluntary basis. The target of 20 has been exceeded extensively. The table below reflects the Portable Skills Training (Engineering) for the Employees of AGA

INTERNSHIPS - FOR EMPLOYEES (18.1):
Internships - Management Trainees (18.1) The Management Trainee (MT) Programme (of approximately three years in duration) provides graduates and diplomats with the skills needed for middle management positions. Incumbents are assisted to obtain professional accreditation where appropriate. After completion of their studies, most bursars (awarded bursaries by AGA) enter into the employ of AngloGold Ashanti as MT’s. However, the programme is also extended to suitably qualified employees and external applicants who include members from our host and labour sending areas. The purpose of the MT Programme is to prepare trainees to fulfill middle management roles upon completion of the programme. The table below reflects this.

Given the significant downscaling in the management ranks during 2013 and 2014 we unfortunately lost a number of management trainee including some HDSA candidates. We were unable to attract suitable candidates in the Coloured and Indian population groups. HDSA representation among Management Trainees was 79% and we met our numerical target for HDSA’s for 2014. For the period 2010 – 2014, we exceeded the HDSA target by 12 individuals (9%)

LEARNERSHIP - FOR EMPLOYEES (18.1): Miners and Artisans are engaged in learnerships of approximately 18 months to 2 years duration, which are programmes registered with the Mining Qualifications Authority (MQA) and the Department of Labour (DOL), allowing the contracted learners to gain the skills needed for artisan or supervisory positions. During 2014, 126 employees (in 127 interventions) benefitted from this initiative which generously exceeds the target of 48. This over achievement in engineering learners can be attributed to learners who have completed the Level 2 qualification (section artisans) accessing the level 3 or 4 qualification after working hours i.e. life-long learning. It shows that accessibility of programmes is paramount to the development of employees who wants to succeed in their careers by showing interest and dedication.

IN SERVICE BURSARS - FOR EMPLOYEES (18.1) Up until 2013 bursaries were awarded to employees for full-time tertiary studies in specific fields of study critical to AGA. These included the technical fields where there is a shortage as per the Sector Skills Shortage Plan. The company planned to provide five In-Service Bursaries in 2012 and awarded five bursaries and four learners in 2013 and awarded four. The In- Service Bursary Plan for 2014 was five. Due to the uncertainty caused by the right sizing exercise at Management levels conducted during 2013, which arose out of the negative economic circumstances in the global economy and Gold Mining industry in particular, no nominations were received for further full time studies for 2014. An MPRDA Section 102/Regulation 44 application was lodged with the Department of Mineral Resources to revise the 2014 target from 5 to 0 and discussed during a meeting on the 18th of March 2014. To off-set the above-mentioned shortfall, it is proposed that five additional Community Internships be added to the existing plan of thirty thereby increasing the number of Interns to thirty five and three additional Enrolled Nursing Auxiliary Learnerships thereby increasing the planned number of learners from twenty to twenty three.

CAREER PROGRESSION - FOR EMPLOYEES (18.1): MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES
Employees are sent on Management Development Programmes which are appropriately related to their roles, to create a talent pool for Senior Management, capabilities and potential in accordance with the suite of managerial development programmes. Managerial development is focused on the specific need of the employee, and is aimed at enhancing his/her effectiveness in his/her role and equipping him/her to develop into future roles. The knowledge and skills acquired are broad in nature and aim to equip the employee with the ability to work more efficiently. Selection is based on a set of criteria that is decided upon annually and aligned to AGA’s transformational agenda, as well as focusing on individuals that form part of AGA’s core business such as mining and engineering. Following an analysis of the management development programs offered by the company over a 10 year period it was decided to update the programmes during 2014 in order to focus more on applied leadership skills as well as implement changes to the structure of the programmes to ensure that more females and HDSA’s manage to complete the programs successfully. The programmes are presented by the University of Cape Town’s Graduate School of Business and were piloted from May 2014.

STAFF DEVELOPMENT PANELS
The D-Band population is exposed to staff development panels to facilitate their career development. The Staff Development Panel process output is a career development plan, the implementation of which is the accountability of the MoR (Manager once Removed, who is also the mentor of the candidate). During 2014, a total of 88 individuals attended staff development panels and 61% of these were HDSA’s and 30% females as shown in table below. The target population (D Band) is 54% HDSA. 61% of panel interviews were for HDSA employees.

STUDY ASSISTANCE In addition to the formal HRD programmes mentioned above, AGA also offers employees the opportunity to grow and develop their knowledge and skills through study assistance. Employees are encouraged to further their studies in areas that will enhance the achievement of company objectives as well as individual development. However, employees who wish to further their studies in any field are not rejected. Employees who successfully complete qualifications that are in line with company objectives and their individual development are reimbursed 100% of their course fees upon completion, while employees who successfully complete qualifications unrelated to company objectives and individual development are reimbursed 50% of their course fees. During 2014, 153 employees have made use of study assistance, 91% HDSA’s. See table below.

MENTORSHIP PLAN - FOR EMPLOYEES (18.1) Mentorship in the SA Region takes place against the backdrop of the Manager once Removed (MoR) contact sessions, which take place twice a year. During these sessions, subordinates have an opportunity to raise challenges they may be experiencing and can be coached and guided by their MoR. This system has recently been implemented for all D-Band employees. This system is still in the implementation phase and managers are still being trained on how to record their contact sessions. Further areas for development flow out of the development panel process. Mentorship sessions (MoR/SoR & Contact) took place from June 2014 and 108 sessions were recorded. Coaching sessions between Line Managers and subordinates commenced during March 2014 and by the end of 2014, 234 sessions were recorded. The target population (D Band) for coaching and mentorship is comprised of 54% HDSA’s. 49% of mentorship and coaching sessions 2014 were for HDSA employees. The system is based on the three tier managerial accountability structure of manager once removed (MoR), manager, and subordinate once removed (SoR), where the manager once removed is accountable for the mentoring and career development of the subordinate once removed. In terms of this every individual will be mentored by the manager two levels up i.e.:
Figure 1: Three Tier Relationship Mentorship in AngloGold Ashanti is based on the concepts and principles of Requisite Organisation (Dr Elliot Jacques) and is internally referred to as the System for People. The system is based on the three tier managerial accountability structure of manager once removed (MoR), manager, and subordinate once removed (SoR), where the manager once removed is accountable for the mentoring and career development of the subordinate once removed. In terms of this every individual will be mentored by the manager two levels up i.e.: AngloGold Ashanti’s Systems for People (SP) creates a culture of accountability and trust, consistent with our Values, where all employees can be the best they can be for themselves and as part of a team who delivers exceptional results. Systems for People will help us to develop a capable, accountable and engaged workforce to enable the creation of sustainable growth in business partner value.

Figure 1:
The system has a built in Mentorship and coaching scheme, which is depicted by a Three-Tier System above. The relationship is as follows:
Manager Once Removed (MoR) whose accountability is the career development of the Subordinate Once Removed (SoR).
o Manager once Removed Accountabilities
Assess the talent pool of employees.
To mentor and provide career development for all SoRs.
Ensure subordinate managers carry out talent pool development within each of their areas.
Ensure fair and equitable treatment of SoRs, including equilibration of managerial processes and practices.
Judge managerial leadership effectiveness of immediate subordinates who manage others
Manager’s accountability is the work performance of the subordinate known as Subordinate Once Removed (SoR).
o Manager Accountabilities
Their own effectiveness in role relative to their accountabilities.
The outputs of their subordinates and coaching for maximum effectiveness.
The result or impact of subordinates’ behaviour.
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 40 of 232
Sustaining a team of capable employees working individually and collaterally to produce outputs over time, i.e. providing effective leadership to
the team.
Continuous process improvement.
Subordinate Once Removed (SoR) is the one who is subjected to the two initiatives that of performance and development.
o Subordinate Once Removed Accountabilities
Their own effectiveness in role relative to their accountabilities.
The outputs for maximum effectiveness
Anglo Gold Ashanti has success in implementing this process and will continuously improve the system were required.
The purpose of this process is to ensure that every individual in the organization is mentored by their manager two levels up. Every bursar and intern is allocated a mentor as part of their structured development programme.

MINING SKILLS TRAINING - FOR COMUNITY (18.2): Community members are trained as stope and development team members at the AGA Satellite Training Centers. This strategy is intended to increase the pool of capable individuals in the local communities who are available, and to also reduce the time spent on recruitment and training during the organisation’s engagement process. Names of the candidates are registered and forwarded to TEBA to be added to the database. After training the individuals have gained knowledge and some practical experience as a capable candidate that is on route towards full competency in the skill trained.
During 2014, 143 community members benefitted from this opportunity. Recruiting Coloureds, Indians and Whites were challenging and intensified marketing was applied, but the shortfall could not be bridged. The target was exceeded because a lot of young people saw this as an excellent opportunity to enter the mining industry especially that there a skills offered which can assist them to do so.

VOCATIONAL BURSARS - FOR COMMUNITY (18.2): Bursaries are offered to learners engaged in Full-time tertiary studies in specific fields of study critical to AGA, where there is a skills shortage. These Vocational bursars are accommodated on the AngloGold Ashanti Vocational Bursars (AVB) Scheme and are sourced externally with preference to our host and labour sending areas. The intention of the company’s Bursary scheme is to create a consistent pipeline of professionals into the company. The introduction of SIMS Bursaries and Internship programs in 2012 yielded 34 and 68 candidates respectively by the end of 2013 for the West Wits Operations. Given that the number of available positions in which people can be employed is declining, due to cost pressures in a downscaling environment, management made a decision that no new Vocational Bursary awards will be made in 2014. 9 Vocational Bursars in the West Wits operations remained in the bursary system, meaning that we are 13% or 10 below the SLP target (2010 – 2014) and AGA has subsequently applied for a Section 102 in this regard.

2.2 (b) YOUTH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES COMMUNITY BURSARIES: AGA commits to providing open bursaries to host and labour sending community members who are admitted for Full-time degree or diploma studies at approved tertiary institutions. AGA does not commit to providing the individuals with employment on completion of their studies; however the bursary does not carry any obligation to AGA.
This initiative was marketed within communities through local newspapers and engagements with the local municipalities, as well as through internal communication channels. During 2014, 6 community members were awarded bursaries for studies related to core skills and 11 for non-core fields of study, as indicated in the tables below. In total the plan was to provide bursaries to 20 community members in the WW area and during 2014, 17 were awarded.

COMMUNITY TRAINING - MINING SKILLS PROJECT: The purpose of the Mining Skills community project is to provide community members in the West Wits District the opportunity to enrich themselves by obtaining knowledge and skills, which they will be able to apply within the mining industry. The Community learners will be provided the opportunity to obtain Mining and or Development Team knowledge and skills, up to the level where they have been found capable. This implies that they have done all the theory as per unit standard as well as the simulated practical tasks as required by the unit standards. After obtaining capability status their names are placed on a TEBA waiting list for possible engagement. For engagement the candidate needs to comply with AGA selection criteria.

INTERNSHIPS - COMMUNITY: AGA commits to provide supervised work experience which can lead to future employment opportunities for community members who have obtained degrees or diplomas, to extend the theoretical knowledge acquired through their studies in a practical way. The focus is on the areas where AGA has the technical expertise required to provide these interns with the necessary exposure. Interns are put through an induction process and mentored by managers within AGA. This contributes to their personal and professional development. There is an official orientation for such interns, as well as accommodation provided with meals and transport to and from the workshops were needed. During 2014, 28 Community members received internships, 1 for Core and 27 for Non-Core.
All Community internship opportunities for 2014 were promoted in all applicable geographical areas. Candidates who met the criteria were offered internships if they completed the selection process successfully. We have noted a reduction in the number of interns in core fields and believe this is due to a smaller number of learners pursuing careers in these fields, therefore there are only one Core community intern in WW.

INVOLVEMENT WITH FET COLLEGES: A contract has been signed with the WESTCOL FET College for the:
• Development of teachers • Practical exposure for teachers • Student visits to Training Centers • Aligning of learning material with Industry needs • Second hand equipment to be provided to colleges
In partnership with WESTCOL FET College management, AngloGold Ashanti sponsored 6 lecturers (1African Male, 2 White Males and 3 African Females) who enrolled into Engineering Learnerships. WESTCOL was not able to fill the remaining lecturer numbers as planned due to consequential challenges as they indicated that they are under staffed. Workplace experience for these lecturers commenced during 2014. Above this AGA had a plan in place to assist with improving the FET, for which detail is supplied further in this report under the Educational Upliftment section.
NCV PRACTICAL’S: The NCV programmes are intended to respond directly to the skills demand of the South African economy. The qualification is designed to provide both theory and practical experience in this vocational field.
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 49 of 232
AGA’s plan was to host 30 NCV students during 2014 to provide them with practical work exposure as they complete their studies through the WESTCOL FET College. During 2014, 34 students enrolled for practical work exposure.

YOUTH PORTABLE SKILLS - COMMUNITY: Portable Engineering Skills training is provided to the youth in AGA’s host communities, and includes the unemployed youth. AGA considers the youth needs and the needs of within the communities in order to determine appropriate courses which are hosted at the AGA training center. The individual is entitled to a once of free course, of which AGA bears the costs when possible. During 2014, 105 community members benefited from this initiative. Recruiting all races, except Africans has proven to be challenging and hence intensified marketing was applied in an attempt to address this but the shortfall could not be bridged.

ENGINEERING LEARNERSHIPS & APPRENTICES - COMMUNITY: Engineering skills training is provided to community members in the Gauteng Province to provide individuals with the opportunity to obtain formal qualifications, which can be used within the mining sector. The learners acquire skills and knowledge to the level where they have been found capable to perform the work. This will imply that they will gain theoretical knowledge as per curriculum as prescribed by the MQA (Mining Qualification Authority) as well as simulated practical tasks as required by the programme. The learners must meet the criteria as set by AGA and also meet the MQA requirements to enter the Community Learnership programme. Learners were recruited from the surrounding areas where AGA operates with the assistance of the Department of Labour Centres. Preference was given to “shadow of the headgear” candidates when recruiting learners who have the correct qualifications to meet the entry level requirements. During 2014, 33 learners were enrolled against a target of 30. The table below includes a total of 76 learners of which 43 learners are a role-over from previous years.

2.3 EMPLOYMENT EQUITY PLAN The company has put in place measures to respond to the requirements as outlined in both the Mining Charters (2002 and as amended in 2010) as well as in the MPRDA regulations. These have been aligned with the company’s business requirements so as to be sustainable into the future. The following is an outline of the above stated Mining Charter and MPRDA Regulations requirements: a) Mining Charter Requirement: The original Mining Charter scorecard which was designed to measure compliance requires the company to put in place measures to answer the following questions: Has the company published its employment equity plan, and reported on its annual progress in meeting that plan? Has the company published a plan to achieve a target for HDSA participation in management of 40% within five years, and is implementing this plan? Has the company identified a talent pool and is it fast tracking it? The 2010 BROAD-BASED SOCIO-ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT CHARTER of the SOUTH AFRICAN MINING and MINERALS INDUSTRY provides as follows with regards to Employment Equity: “Workplace diversity and equitable representation at all levels are catalysts for social cohesion, transformation and competitiveness of the mining industry. In order to create a conducive environment to ensure diversity as well as participation of HDSA at all decision-making positions and core occupational categories in the mining industry, every mining company must achieve a minimum of 40% HDSA demographic representation at: Executive Management (Board) level by 2014; Senior management (EXCO) level by 2014; Core and Critical skills by 2014; Middle management level by 2014; Junior management level by 2014; and
In addition, mining companies must identify and fast-track their existing talent pools to ensure high level operational exposure in terms of career path programmes”. The reporting period for all of the above-mentioned targets is March 2015. For the purpose of reporting against the Mining Charter targets at the end of the reporting periods, the following definitions apply: “Executive Management (Board)” shall be defined as follows: “Executive Management” shall mean “Top Management” in line with the Employment Equity Act
reporting requirements and is based at the Corporate Office, save for the South Africa Region (SAR) Chief Operating Officer (COO), who is based at the South Africa Region Offices; and “Board” shall mean the AGA Board in terms of the company’s Articles of Association. The Board comprises South African and non- South African based members and will be so reported.
(It should be noted that Top Management refers to the South African based managers reporting directly to the Chief Executive Officer and who are part of the company’s Executive Committee, i.e. the key decision makers of the company).
“Senior Management (EXCO)” shall be defined as follows: “Senior Management” “shall mean employees who are at Paterson Grade E- Band and reported as “Senior Management” in line with the Employment Equity Act reporting requirements; and” Exco” shall mean the SAR Exco comprising the SAR Chief Operating Officer and his direct reports based at the SAR Regional Offices.
Middle Management is stated as “Professionally Qualified” in line with the Employment Equity Act reporting requirements.
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 52 of 232
Core and Critical Skills are defined as all occupations within the Mining, Engineering, MRM and Metallurgy disciplines. Corporate Office, while based in Johannesburg is a contributor to the SAR Operations, i.e., Vaal River and West Wits Operations’ Talent Pool and the reports will
reflect scenarios whereby it is included as well as excluded (as per the guidance of the DMR). “The West Wits operation” comprises the following business units: Mponeng mine, Tau Tona mine, Savuka mine, West Wits Metallurgy, West Wits AGA Health, West
Wits SA Regional Services, and the West Wits Corporate Office portion which is proportionately divided between the Vaal River and West Wits operations. The West Wits Employment Equity plans are also aligned to the company’s Employment Equity Plan submitted to the DoL leading to 2014 targets. The company has in the last quarter of 2013 engaged in a process with all its stakeholders to develop a successive employment equity plan that is beyond 2014. The
process has been finalised and the targets as stipulated in the plan have also been integrated in the company’s SLP Plans of 2015 - 2019. The Mining Charter scorecard requirements are indicated below along with the AGA West Wits (inclusive of Corporate Office) compliance as at 31 December 2014:

MPRDA Requirement: In terms of the MPRDA, REGULATION 46 (b) (v) states: The contents of a Social and Labour Plan must include a human resources development programme which must include the employment equity statistics which must be completed in the form of “Form S” contained in Annexure II and the mines plan to achieve the 10 per cent women participating in mining and 40 per cent historically disadvantaged South Africans (HDSA) participation in management within 5 years from the granting of the right or the conversion of the old order right. The following constitutes the company’s approach to the above mentioned questions. The company submitted its five year Employment Equity (EE) Plan to the Department of Labour (DoL) in 2010 for the period August 2009-July 2014. This plan was used to develop the EE Plan in compliance with the MC requirements. The company is also required to report to the DoL on an annual basis, as well as to the DMR. The DoL EE reports are also posted on the company’s website on an annual basis. In terms of the Skills Development Act, the company submits its Annual Training report (ATR) and the Workplace Skills Plan (WSP) each year. The Workplace Skills Plan outlines the process of identifying the talent pool and fast-tracking the HDSAs in line with the
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 53 of 232
target as set in the EE plan. In developing the EE Plan, the WSP and the ATR, the company embarks on consultations with the recognised trade unions as required by the EE and Skills Development Act. In light of the above, the SA Region has established an additional forum, namely, SA Region Transformation Steering Committee (SARTSC), which aims to develop, implement and create awareness, and to oversee the compliance obligations with regard to employment equity. The Committee further creates a platform for all stakeholders, including organised labour representatives to monitor employment equity targets, plans and progress, discuss implementation processes for employment equity and to align stakeholders and develop a shared understanding and consensus concerning employment equity in the company. All these processes are in alignment with the broader SP (System for People) and BPF (Business Process Framework) transformation and change initiatives, collectively known as ONE. In addition, there are two monitoring structures, the SAR Management Committee and the AGA Board’s the Social, Ethics and Transformation Committee (Board Committee) whose terms of reference includes the company’s performance with respect to the Mining Charter. These two Committees meet (separately) once every quarter with the Board Committee reporting progress made in the area of Transformation and Human Resources Development to the Board on a quarterly basis. AngloGold Ashanti – West Wits continuously engages in the following processes in an aim to address employment equity transformation challenges:- Continuous Gap analysis Special effort in the appointment of Senior Management Enhancement of the Talent Pipeline aided by Mentorship and coaching Additional development of skill through bursary scheme Benchmarking of competitive remuneration for key skills Role description and accountabilities In implementing the Company’s EE Plan, the following initiatives have been put in place during the period leading to 2014;
The recruitment, selection and appointment strategy will continue to apply a 60/40 short listing split in favour of HDSAs to increase the chances of HDSA appointments and enhance the achievement of EE targets;
Training and Development initiatives continuously focuses on management development programmes, skills and development programmes and other interventions with the purpose of strengthening HDSA representation in the talent pool;
Bursary Schemes and Development Programmes will strengthen the demographical representation in the long term, leading to 2014 targets. The Bursary take into account the EAP in order to promote the development and progression of the HDSA in line with the EE targets as outlined in this Plan;
Organised Labour engagement – all recognised Trade Unions within our operations will continuously be engaged in matters relating to promoting transformation and they are actively involved in Committees and Forums that are monitoring the employment equity targets and practices.
Targets - targets contained in the EE Plan will be continuously monitored and reported on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis in consultation with organised labour;
In addition to the initiatives mentioned above, the company has further engaged with its stakeholders, including organised labour representatives at National, Regional and Branch level in a process to develop a successive employment equity plan that is beyond 2014. Within this process, an internal audit in accordance with section 19 and 20 of Employment Equity Act was conducted by all Business Units in order to identify barriers to employment equity and affirmative actions to address these barriers were formulated. The EE Plan was submitted to the DoL and further integrated into the SLP Plans of 2015 – 2019.

The SA Region workforce profile has declined in the last quarter of 2014. The Voluntary Severance Package process was initiated as well as a restructuring process at management level as an operational requirement. However, the Region has taken cognisance of the transformation commitments during this process, and progressed positively in meeting the Mining Charter targets. The Region has achieved the annual Mining Charter targets and plans are in place to maintain and improve the positive status beyond 2014. The company acknowledges the need for constant positive HDSA movements at Senior and Middle Management levels. The Region continues to explore opportunities internally and externally to advance HDSA representation at all levels taking into consideration the national EAP demographics of the country. Business Units in the West Wits operations have accordingly put in place EE Plans with set targets which aim to address the obligations as contained in the Amended Mining Charter. Business Units` actual achievements are enclosed in this report. The West Wits operations have been able to achieve positive trends in advancing equitable representation in the management structures as well as gender representation as can be seen in the graph below with respect to progression of HDSA in management occupational levels, core and critical skills, and female representation since the year 2010 - 2014.

Graph 1: Progress HDSA representation from 2010 –2014
The above graph gives an indication that West Wits operations are making positive progress towards achievements of its transformation commitments. The West Wits operations have achieved the annual 2014 Mining Charter HDSA targets at Senior Management by achieving 40% and exceeded the targets by achieving 42.9% at Top Management , 53.6% at Middle Management, 60.8% at Junior Management and 54.1% at Core and Critical Skills. Even though these achievements have been positive and significant in compliance with the Mining Charter obligations, the concern remains at Senior Management and the company realises that there is a need to increase HDSA percentage achievements at this level and further maintain the positive achievements already in place in other areas in order to positively progress towards equitable representation in accordance with the EAP demographics of the country. West Wits operations adheres to the Chamber of Mines (COM) guidelines, which advises that, to comply with “representative of demographics” white women should only be accounted for a maximum of 6% contribution to the HDSA population. Applying this guideline, the following graph depicts a comparison between the total percentage of HDSA representation per occupational level for West Wits operation and the percentage HDSA representation when white females are calculated at maximum 6%.

3.2. Community Consultation and Involvement / Stakeholder Engagement In advancing the tracking progress and ensuring implementation and delivery of our SLP commitments the SA Region continued with the implementation of its Stakeholder and Communications strategies and initiatives. Below is a summary of the critical engagements and communication initiatives that took place during this reporting period in our host communities of Merafong City Local Municipality and OR Tambo District Municipality: Merafong Local Municipality: The company is committed to building multiple stakeholder relations that are mutually beneficial with all the Stakeholders. This is done to ensure that the company is aware of the actual community needs and co-designs solutions to address these through community development projects. To do this the company developed comprehensive Communication and Stakeholder Engagement Strategies which formed part of the company’s eight Sustainability executing strategies. Below is an account of the 2014 stakeholder engagement and consultations and some of the activities that were achieved due to structured stakeholder and community consultations and engagements. For the 2014 reporting period and for the execution of the 2010 to 2014 Social and Labour Plans the company formed formalised relationships with key stakeholders in Merafong City Local Municipality, the Department of Mineral Resources, the Department of Basic Education, the Department of Higher Education and Training, the AngloGold Ashanti Future Forum comprised of the National Union of Mine Workers, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, Solidarity and the United Association of South Africa, the OR Tambo District Municipality, Departments of Education and Health in the Eastern Cape and the Gauteng Provinces. Based on this AGA’s approach is focused on ensuring that the company is able to:
Establish meaningful relationships with various community stakeholders
Consult and attend Integrated Development Plans Representative Forums which guides the formulation and development of Integrated Development Plans.
Contributed to the socio-economic development of host and labour sending communities.
Continually engaging the community and the relevant government structures For this reporting period and for the formation of the 2010 to 2014 Social and Labour Plans AngloGold Ashanti engaged in an open and transparent manner with stakeholders. The Company’s continued focus was in ensuring that engagements are formalised, recorded and regular. To enable this the company developed the following consultative forums to measure progress against the 2010 to 2014 Social and Labour Plans and to identify risks areas and collectively agreed upon risk we have established the following interventions to ensure that this happens:
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 66 of 232
AngloGold Ashanti has established a three-tier structure comprising a Mandating and Implementation Committees with the Merafong City Local Municipality and the OR Tambo District Municipality for projects that are being executed there provisioned for under the West Wits Operations. Structures have been formed to ensure that AngloGold Ashanti reports back on progress in terms of the implementation of Social and Labour Plan Projects in a Merafong City Local Municipality and in the OR Tambo District Municipalities, the company holds the following to drive this:
Mandating Committee Meetings that are headed by the Executive Mayor of Merafong City Local Municipality, attended by Members of the Mayoral Council and AngloGold Ashanti Senior Management.
The Implementation Committee Meetings discusses the project plans and implementation of the approved projects; these are made up of Senior Municipal Officials and Senior AngloGold Ashanti Managers.
For the period of 2015 to 2019 AngloGold Ashanti will continue to strengthen community relations by hosting Annual Community Briefings which will include other Stakeholders. This has proven during the execution of the 2010 to 2014 Social and Labour Plans to be very effective in terms of reporting project implementation progress and allowing the community to give the company feedback on projects. This feedback along with the Social and Labour Plan development engagement process have been used to inform the content and focus of the 2015 to 2019 Social and Labour Plans. The employment of Memoranda of Understanding entered into with stakeholders during the implementation of 2010 to 2014 Social and Labour Plans proved to be very effective. Likewise this will guide the implementation of the 2015 to 2019 Social and Labour Plan projects. Another effective communication vehicle that was utilised during the 2010 to 2014 Social and Labour Plan execution in terms of reporting back to stakeholders was the Community Sustainability Report, the company will continue to use this in the 2015 to 2019 Social and Labour Plan cycle to account and report back to its stakeholder constituencies. Lastly internal stakeholders comprised of Social and Labour Plan Champions and AngloGold Ashanti Future Forum comprised of the National Union of Mine Workers, the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union, Solidarity and the United Association of South Africa and external stakeholders such as the communities of Merafong and OR Tambo, Merafong City Local Municipality, OR Tambo District Municipality, Non-Governmental Organisations and the Merafong Business Formations were engaged in the development of and during the delivery of the 2010 and 2014 Social and Labour Plan. The same approach has been applied with regards to the formulation and execution of the 2015 to 2019 Social and Labour Plan. The company elected to publish on the company website as part of its open communication and transparency policy, Social and Labour Plans, Social and Labour Plan Reports and Mining Charter Reports. The same is being applied for the 2015 to 2019 Social and Labour Plan Projects.

In order to respond well and holistically to these needs the company developed socio-economic development framework that looked at identifying areas to be funded and supported by a clearly outlined funding model.

REGULATION 46 (c) (iv) of the MPRDA stipulates that the contents of a social and labour plan must include measures to address the housing and living conditions of the mine employees. Housing and Living Conditions and the Mining Charter
The 2003 MC scorecard states as follows with regards to Housing and Living conditions: “For company provided housing, has the mine, on consultation with stakeholders, established measured for improving the standard of housing, including the
upgrading of the hostels, conversion of hostels to family units and promoted home ownership options for mine employees? Companies will be required to indicate what they have done to improve housing and show a plan to progress the issue over time, and is implementing the plan?”
“For company provided nutrition, has the mine established measures for improving the nutrition of mine employees? Companies will be required to indicate what they have done to improve nutrition and show a plan to progress the issue over time and is implementing the plan?”
Below is an outline of how the company has addressed the above stated issues. The company has in consultation with the unions and the housing forums agreed to the following measures aimed at improving the housing and living conditions for its employees. Living out allowance, this is paid as part of remuneration as agreed between the company and Labour unions to 5033 employees, including AHS. Boarding houses that provide varying degrees of accommodation facilities to 294 single employees. Residences that provide full accommodation to 4980 single employees. Attached to the residences, some 134 visiting wives units are available in the West Wits area. Family accommodation of 2296 units are provided in municipal areas and mining areas. (Including the Redevelopment of Ekhayalihle Residence)
3.6.1 Upgrading of Residences into Single Room Accommodation The following has been agreed to, in the various consultation forums, as the strategic basis for residence upgrading: Increased levels of privacy are pursued through the redevelopment of communal accommodation units into private rooms. Redevelopment work started in 2005. At
the end of the 2014 reporting period 5093 single rooms were created at a cost of R124.57 million. The revised plan to convert communal rooms into private rooms was completed at the end of 2014 in order to comply with the Mining Charter.
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 100 of 232
The following Privacy and Upgrading projects for 2014 were planned to create additional privacy rooms:
Table 3.6.1 Planned 2014 Actual 2014

Motebong – TauTona 312 R4.07 million 336 R4,58 million
Ntshonalanga – Savuka 136 R7.44 million 122 R3,40 million
The above constitutes an achievement of 100% against the 100% MC target required for 2014. Note: Even though the company has attained the one person per room target at the end of 2014 there is an additional 40 rooms that will be completed by the end of the 1st quarter 2015. Female Ablutions: To ensure that adequate female ablutions and change house facilities are being created, the company has established female change houses at the “Three shafts” and residence areas.
3.6.2 Redevelopment of residences to family units As part of AngloGold’s Ashanti’s residence redevelopment for sustainable development, redundant residences have already been converted into family units. This approach has also been incorporated into the company’s future planning. Progress achieved to date is as follows: A total of 364 family units have been redeveloped within the Ekhayalihle Residence at a total cost of R45.74 million. Ekhayalihle Residence has been fully redeveloped into family units and no further units are to be created. The above constitutes an achievement of 100% against the 100% MC target required for 2014.

3.6.3 Promotion of Home Ownership Promote and facilitate home ownership AngloGold Ashanti in conjunction with the recognised Trade Unions is in the process of investigating the opportunity to create an affordable home ownership scheme for all employees. The following is an outline of the process that has been followed in this regard: Initial pilot project of 100 houses has been Board approved. BEE developer has been identified. Stakeholder alignment achieved. Suitable land identified for the pilot project. Local employment / job creation was pursued. Completion of 56 houses in Wedela.
In pursuance of the home ownership requirement the company is in the process of finalising the scheme framework which includes the Memorandum of Understanding with all organised labour stakeholders. The plan entails selling of non-strategic company housing stock, including the 56 newly completed houses in Wedela to employees. In order to enhance affordability consultations have been held with financial institutions and the department of Human Settlements to unlock Government subsidies for purchasers. Incorporation of AngloGold Ashanti’s land and property into the local Municipality. AngloGold Ashanti is in the process of investigating the formalization and incorporation of its mining villages into the Municipality of Merafong.

3.6.4 Nutrition
Measures to address Nutrition at Residences: Background: A dietary analysis of the current menu indicates that it adequately caters for the energy and nutritional requirements of workers including underground workers performing moderate to hard work. Criteria used is the COMRO (Chamber of Mines Research Organisation) reference report no 11/91 to establish the energy requirements of underground workers as well as other international recognized measures such as the DRI (Daily Recommended Intake) and the Harris Benedict equation. The table below shows the kJ intake for work load category.
Diet plan and number of meals: The diet plan refers to the list of food groups incorporated into each meal as opposed to a menu listing the specific dishes served at each meal. The diet plan ensures t balanced meals are served and that the numbers of meals, as well as the food groups served at each meal are taken into consideration. Traditionally only pre-shift (breakfast) and post shift (main meal) were served in the Residences, but now a third meal is also served. A mid-shift supplement is also available to all underground workers (Morvite / Go Ahead Cereal).

SECTION 4: PROCUREMENT Mining Charter Requirement:
In terms of Procurement and Enterprise Development the amended 2010 BROAD-BASED SOCIO-ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT CHARTER of the SOUTH AFRICAN MINING AND MINERALS INDUSTRY states as follows:
“Local procurement is attributable to competitiveness and transformation, captures economic value, presents opportunities to expand economic growth that allows for creation of decent jobs and widens scope for market access of South African capital goods and services. In order to achieve this, the mining industry must procure services of BEE entities in accordance with the following criteria: Procure a minimum of 40% of capital goods from BEE entities by 2014; Ensure that multinational suppliers of capital goods annually contribute a minimum of 0.5% of annual income generated from local mining companies towards socio-
economic development of local communities into a social development fund from 2010; Procure 70% of services and 50% of consumer goods from BEE entities by 2014. The targets above are exclusive of non-discretionary procurement expenditure.” The Mining Charter scorecard requirements are indicated below along with the AGA compliance to date:

4.1 Report back on 2005 to 2014 performance against targets The information required in terms of “Form T” is appended to this report. It should be noted that AngloGold Ashanti South African Region’s procurement activities are managed centrally and regionally. To this end the section on procurement covers both corporate and regional performances.
The 2010 MC scorecard provides as follows: Has the mining company given HDSA’s preferred supplier status? Has the mining company identified current level of procurement from HDSA companies in terms of capital goods, consumables and services? Has the mining company indicated a commitment to a progression of procurement from HDSA companies over a three to five-year time frame in terms of capital
goods, consumables and services and to what extent has the commitment been implemented?
4.1.1. AGA BEE Spend over the Past 5 Years AGA spent 67% (R4.7bn) with BEE entities that have a minimum 25% Black Ownership status, from a total discretionary spend of R6.9bn as at the end of December 2014. The graph below shows the steady progress that has been achieved over the past five years in this area. AGA had an 86% progressive increase in spend with the BEE compliant entities over the course of that period.

The table above shows that as at the end of December 2014, the company complies with all these targets in the three main categories of spend. Capital spend at 53% against the target of 40%, Consumable spend at 67% against the target of 50% and Services spend at 73% against the target of 70%. The preferential procurement efforts initiated since 2013 Q2 resulted in a significant improvement with respect to the Mining Charter compliance requirements, especially on the Services Spend category which remained below target for a long time. The Services Spend has shown significant progress in the past two years due to targeted interventions to ensure that AGA meets the Mining Charter requirements. It is currently sitting at about 73%, representing an increase of about 41% from the 43% reported at the end of 2012.

4.1.3. West Wits Region The company continues to seek and acquire HDSA suppliers that can supply products required by our business units and also encourages our traditional suppliers to embark on a transformation process to ensure compliance with BEE requirements. In the West Wits Region, as at the end of December 2014 AGA has spent R1.719bn with qualifying BEE suppliers with a minimum of 25% Black ownership status, achieving 68% towards the 2014 targets. Furthermore AGA achieved 62% for Capital Spend, 69% for Consumable Goods Spend and 70% for Services as depicted in the table below.

AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 109 of 232
4.3 Enterprise Development
ENTERPRISES DEVELOPMENT AGA established an SMME development programme in 1998 aimed at assisting emerging entrepreneurs and start-up businesses to enter the formal sector of the economy. Pursuant to the programme and advancing the development of these emerging enterprises, Masakhisane Limited was established in 2000 as a development vehicle whose main objective was to fund and support the creation and development of commercially viable enterprises in the host area.
The venture did not deliver the anticipated success and the progress rate from the programme was not at the expected levels. Masakhisane as an enterprise loaning initiative experienced loan payment defaults following failure by assisted enterprises to meet legal obligations, thus resulting in most of the enterprises being closed. The loaning to enterprises was then placed on hold while Masakhisane Limited as a lending vehicle was placed under review to setup an appropriate governance and resource structure, based on an extensive benchmarking exercise aimed to establish best practice in enterprise development.
The outcome of the benchmark process resulted in an understanding on the challenges faced by local community enterprises and the need for a comprehensive incubation and a holistic business support structure. This understanding led to the repositioning of the enterprise development initiatives in the newly constituted legal entity AGA Community Development (Pty) Ltd trading as Masakhisane Fund and the proposed establishment of the Enterprise Development Centres (EDC) in the host communities of Merafong and Matlosana local municipalities and OR Tambo district municipality. A Socio Economic Development Funding model was developed as Masakhisane was placed under review. Three funds were established, including the Enterprise Development (ED) Fund. Interest free loans were disbursed to small enterprises in the host community but the ED Fund also experienced loan payment defaults and is under review to setup an appropriate governance structure. The defaults that have been alluded to were primarily due to the non-existence of a comprehensive incubation and business support structure, thus leading to the establishment of Enterprise Development Centres (EDCs) for comprehensive incubation within host and labour sending areas. The EDCs and reviewed Masakhisane are meant to enhance social and economic platforms within host and labour sending communities and to encourage economic participation of local black owned business and entrepreneurs, thereby addressing unemployment, poverty and inequality. The above-mentioned EDCs are contained in the Amended 2010 -2014 Social and Labour Plans for West Wits (Merafong) and the Vaal River (Matlosana and OR Tambo). The SLP approved budgets allocated to these EDCs (total amount of R48m over a three (3) year period) are R15m for Merafong, R15m for Matlosana and R10m for OR Tambo. The OR Tambo EDC budget was increased by a once off contribution of R8m as per agreement between the company and the NUM to allocate the Strike Fund (1986) money to this project, increasing its budget to R18m.
The EDCs are to be managed by professional implementing agents specialising in this area so to address the current shortcomings in both supplier and enterprise development in host communities. The feasibility study findings of this project however indicated that to create the targeted number of entrepreneurs and job opportunities as reflected in the SLPs, the budgets would need to be almost doubled. It was therefore necessary to search for external funders to close the shortfalls which delayed the implementation of the EDC’s.
The Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA) with the Job Fund as the implementing agent was engaged. An agreement to co-fund the EDCs project on a matching basis, subject to the terms of the Grant Agreement between the parties, was signed (R48m AGA and R48m Jobs Fund over a three year period from date of signature). In addition; the host and labour sending community municipalities have formally agreed to provide the premises required to host the EDC at no charge to the projects.
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 110 of 232
Parallel to the engagement with the Jobs Fund there were extensive consultations with the Municipalities, unions and SMME sectors on the key objectives of the EDCs. The scope and outcomes have been agreed to in formal steering committee structures.
The following are the key deliverables with measurable quarterly milestones per host community as contained in the Jobs Fund Agreement.
1. Recruitment and selection of a local stakeholder’s base and implementing agents per host community.
2. Establishment of EDCs main hubs (3) and associated satellites centres (13) – 5 for OR Tambo, and 4 for Merafong and Matlosana, respectively.
3. Marketing & promotion of the EDCs to business and communities.
4. Identification and capacitation of new entrepreneurs - Capacitation of 618 entrepreneurs, that is 185 for Merafong, 185 for Matlosana and 248 for OR Tambo.
5. Mentoring and development of existing and established SMMEs - Assessment of developmental gap of 104 SMMEs 27 for Merafong, 27 for Matlosana and 50
for OR Tambo.
6. Creating some 1 328 jobs through the new and existing SMME’s established and mentored programs (at a rate of 2.5 jobs/SMME) – Merafong = 387, Matlosana = 387 and OR Tambo = 554.
7. Monitoring and evaluation of the key deliverables by AGA, Job Fund, Implementing Agent and Steering Committees- Submission of compliant quarterly reports
and meeting key performance targets so to release funding to the individual EDCs and verified by half and yearly external audits.
Once the EDCs are fully established, AngloGold Ashanti commits to continue to provide financial support (loans) to emerging entrepreneurs in the host communities via the newly registered AngloGold Enterprise Development Fund ( to trade as Masakhisane once the previous Masakhisane has been reviewed). The EDCs will also be able to obtain funding for potential enterprises through the ED Fund. All funding applications for proposed projects will be subject to robust evaluation criteria and business viability tests. Only when projects meet the company’s requirements will they migrate to the funding approval and implementation phases guided by the EDCs. Once established, SMMEs will be supported by the EDC’s and will ideally be linked to the company’s procurement spend and database. Furthermore, the enterprises must be linked to external markets other than that of AGA, for their continued independence beyond mining.

SECTION 5: MEASURES TO AMELIORATE THE IMPACT OF DOWNSCALING & RETRENCHMENT In this section we address: REGULATION 46(d) of the MPRDA requires that the contents of a social and labour plan must include: A process pertaining to management of downscaling and retrenchment which must include-
i. The establishment of the future forum; ii. Mechanisms to save jobs and avoid job losses and a decline in employment; iii. Mechanisms to provide alternative solutions and procedures for creating job security where job losses cannot be avoided; and iv. Mechanisms to ameliorate the social and economic impact on individuals, regions and economies where retrenchment or closure of the mine is certain.
5.1 Background AngloGold Ashanti is committed to manage downscaling and retrenchments at its Business Units within the purview of the principles of the Social Plan requirements of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act, 2002 (Act 28 of 2002), the Charter for the Socio – Economic Development of the Mining Industry of South Africa and consistent with applicable labour legislation. The approach to managing downscaling and retrenchments takes cognizance of the tripartite relationship between government, the company and organized labour in proactively devising strategies to deal with the decline and closure of operations. The approach to managing downscaling and retrenchments is based on the following: The establishment of a Future Forum; Steps that may be undertaken to avoid job losses; Initiatives to address instances where job losses cannot be avoided and Steps to ameliorate the impact job losses may have on employees, and the assistance provided to retrenched employees. During the reporting period (2014), AngloGold Ashanti SA Region in the light of the prevalent business realities which was exacerbated by a variety of factors such as the decreasing gold price, commenced discussions with unions about restructuring and potential downsizing. The volatility of the gold price and the sector made it imperative for swift action to protect the business and employment in the long term. Various attempts were made previously made to stave off restructuring and downsizing. In this regard the following alternatives were:
o Closing out on Contractors;
o Closing out on Projects;
o Review of the Mponeng Deepening Project;
o Termination Management Consultants;
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 112 of 232
o Voluntary Severance Packages and Voluntary Severance Packages with enhanced incentive;
o Decreasing the management committee of the SA Region;
o Closing of the Potchefstroom Regional Office
o
As a first phase in the restructuring and downsizing the company issued a section 189(3) notice to unions and all management employees, which amounted to a formal process of consultation in respect of management positions affected by the restructuring and downsizing process. Although all other categories of employees were affect ted by restructuring, the company constantly discussed and engaged with unions as part of the attempts to avert a formal section 189 process in regard to these categories. The voluntary severance package offering is an ongoing initiative and regular reports are tabled at the future forum and the central restructuring committee. Establishment of a Future Forum The Future Forum in the West Wits was already established in 2012. The Future Forum in the West Wits met on 20 March 2014, 11 July 2014, 26 August 2014 and 12 September 2014.
5.2 Mechanisms to save jobs and avoid job losses, as well as a decline in employment The Gold Mining industry will continue to experience cost pressures brought about by amongst others the decline in the Gold Price and Rising Production Costs, together with aging deep level mines and a decline in production. Technical Measures were put in place to focus on the mining of higher grades. Tau Tona and Savuka mines amalgamated to enhance management efficiency and to lessen the services burden on Savuka mine. Cost saving initiatives such as optimising electricity consumption and other measures not impacting on employees was also embarked upon The company has also adopted a community and socio economic development strategy with an economic stream that seeks to create jobs, develop entrepreneurs and create employment opportunities for employees and communities outside of mining. The Future Forum in the West Wits plays an important role in pro actively addressing issues of job security, employment and alternative solutions when job losses are unavoidable. The future forum which consists of management, organised labour, municipalities and other relevant stakeholders are enjoined in terms of the forums constitution to: “The company together with stakeholders continue to explore solutions and procedures for creating job security to sustain and improve the life of employees and their dependents in the event where job losses and retrenchment is unavoidable, and thereby ameliorating the social and economic impact on individuals, regions and economies where retrenchments are certain, and The company together with unions has established a restructuring plenary committee which feeds into the Future Forum. The Restructuring Plenary meeting, attended by all organised labour organisations at Business Unit and Regional level deliberate on issues pertaining to company and Business Unit performance. It has also become an important conduit for enhancing effective communication underpinned by transparency between management, employees and organized labour in the
AngloGold Ashanti Social and Labour Plan Report 2014 - West Wits – Revision 00 Page 113 of 232
furtherance of the Future Forum. All these initiatives are aimed at ensuring compliance (and beyond compliance) with the requirements of the Mining Charter as well as the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act and its Regulations.” The central forums (Future Forum and Restructuring Plenary) also feed into Business Units committees in relation to mechanisms deployed to save jobs and to avoid job losses.
5.3 Downscaling and Retrenchments As mentioned above, the West Wits license area was not affected by forced retrenchment, due to the efficient deployment of avoidance measures as described above.

6.3 Downscaling and retrenchment In this section we address: REGULATION 46 (e) of the MPRDA which stipulates that the contents of a social and labour plan must provide financially for the implementation of the social and labour
plan in terms of the implementation of: (iii) the processes to manage downscaling and retrenchment The company provides for the management of downscaling and retrenchment in terms of its Business plan process. The Labour Relations Act’s process and requirements will precede any downscaling that may lead to retrenchments.
In the 2011-2013 Wage Agreement entered into between organized labour and the company, through the Chamber of Mines, provides for the payment of a minimum severance pay of not less than R20 000.00. It further undertook to pay a severance pay of not less than two weeks’ pay for every year worked.
The company provides for the following when contemplating downscaling: An ex-gratia payment equivalent to one month’s basic pay. 50% of the retrenchee’s monthly basic pay for every completed year of continuous service. Unions may in addition negotiate severance pay at company level while engaging companies in terms of s 189 of the Labour Relations Act, provided that the
existing practice of two weeks’ basic pay per year of service will not be reduced.
Having stated the above, it is however again re-iterated that no forced retrenchments occurred during 2014 in the West Wits licence area.

SECTION 9: BENEFICIATION 9.1 Beneficiation in South Africa AngloGold Ashanti is the world’s third largest gold producer, with 20 operations in 10 countries and is domiciled in South Africa. In all the countries in which we operate, governments are focusing on value-adding activities that benefit the local economies, either by increasing revenue or up-skilling their people. Adding value to our mineral product before export from the country of origin is a serious aspect of the business. For AngloGold Ashanti, the notion of beneficiation or adding value to our product has been an integral part of the company’s strategic vision and marketing activities since the inception of its marketing department in 1999. This was, at that time, a novel approach in an industry that had hitherto failed to consider that its responsibility continued after mining activity and went beyond the refinery to the end consumer. Since then, AngloGold Ashanti has undertaken a number of initiatives to support both upstream and downstream activities. Although AngloGold Ashanti resigned as a member of the World Gold Council in 2014, our involvement was instrumental in initiatives that are aimed at supporting the gold market beyond South Africa. We also continue to conform to the Conflict-Free Gold Standard. While the main emphasis of our activities has traditionally been in jewellery design and manufacturing, we plan to broaden our horizons to also include gold design in other disciplines. We are also investors in Rand Refinery (Pty) Limited, because gold refining is an important part of the process to convert our mined product to a metal form that can be used in inter alia jewellery, investment and technology.
9.2 Beneficiation initiatives in South Africa AngloGold Ashanti has, over the past decade, committed itself to support the beneficiation of gold. This has included the provision of structural support to assist the growth and development of downstream industries.
9.2.1 Oro Africa Our single largest beneficiation commitment is our long-term investment in Oro Africa, South Africa’s largest jewellery manufacturer and exporter. The company invested in the region of R43m ($6.1m) when it acquired its shareholding in 2000. AngloGold Ashanti’s has a stake of 36% in Oro Africa. This investment demonstrates our pledge to downstream activities, and presents potential for South Africa to leverage the depth of experience in terms of viable technical skills and practical business models in a highly competitive global jewellery market. As South Africa’s largest manufacturer and exporter of jewellery, Oro Africa continues to recruit and train scores of talented young South Africans in the art of jewellery creation. It serves clients throughout South Africa, North and South America, the United Kingdom, Australia and Mauritius, and is also looking to Dubai, the Middle East, India and China. See www.oroafrica.co.za for more information.

9.2.2. AuDITIONS (The Global Gold Couture Jewellery Design competition) AuDITIONS, the world’s largest gold design competition celebrated its 13th anniversary in 2014. It is held biennially in South Africa and Brazil with the objective of inspiring designers to innovate with gold design. The competitions strive to increase gold’s desirability and to advance and extend the boundaries of design by encouraging bold, new creations in high caratage gold. Entry to these competitions is targeted at design students and professionals, but is in fact open to all residents of the respective countries. The Brazilian jewellery market is vibrant and the competition there centres around collaboration and sustainable development of the industry. In South Africa, entrants are invited to attend jewellery design seminars which provide valuable exposure to local and international best practice and design trends. In South Africa, the Department of Mineral Resources added their endorsement and support of the AuDITIONS programme. The government also highlighted the importance of gold beneficiation and supports jewellery manufacture as part of South Africa’s beneficiation strategy. The current challenges in the jewellery industry include a shortage of skills, under- investment in research and development and the rising price of gold. The focus is to create a more co-ordinated framework of research, development and investment to enable the country to develop a competitive edge in the production of jewellery and other artefacts. AngloGold Ashanti understands that it is not the activity of gold mining that fascinates the world or evokes emotions, but the actual metal itself – as it is transformed through design into splendid, valuable items that define success, beauty and wealth. Through our AuDITIONS programme, we demonstrate the importance of investing in design talent. See www.goldauditions.com for more information.
9.2.3 Gold of Africa Museum In February 1999 AngloGold Ashanti acquired 350 West African gold artefacts from the Barbier-Mueller museum in Geneva, Switzerland to preserve the art of African goldsmithing and inspire contemporary design. As a result of this acquisition, AngloGold Ashanti established the Gold of Africa Museum in Cape Town, which it hosted until late in 2014. This museum attracted local and international visitors, allowing them to experience the ancient, sometimes mystical, relationships that exist between the African continent and this precious metal. Although primarily home to the Barbier-Mueller collection, the Museum also exhibited objects from the ancient gold civilisations of southern Africa. AngloGold Ashanti’s decision to move the collection from the museum premises in Cape Town is aligned with its vision to share the historical and cultural significance of the collection with a wider global audience. The collection is currently in Johannesburg while the company is in negotiation with several interested parties to tour the collection and display it alongside similar collections.

9.2.4 Rand Refinery AngloGold holds a 42.41% interest in Rand Refinery (Pty) Limited, a key player in the beneficiation/value-added chain in South Africa and on the African continent. Rand Refinery was established in 1920 and is certified by the London Bullion Market Association. This means it complies with the highest standards required by bullion banks, commodity traders and coin distributors. The Refinery goes beyond just refining doré; it produces gold cast bars, minted bars, semi-finished product, coins and certified gold. These products are available to the South African and the global market. AngloGold Ashanti’s investment in terms of time and resources in the Refinery places South Africa in a competitive position, opening up various beneficiation opportunities. See www.randrefinery.co.za for more information
9.2.5 The Gold Zone Through our significant stake in Rand Refinery, AngloGold Ashanti contributes to a number of beneficiation initiatives. The Gold Zone offers both local and international jewellery manufacturers a cost-effective location for their manufacturing facilities. Additional benefits include access to bulk manufactured semi-fabricated jewellery components and proximity to the Refinery. The latter is important as it provides easy access to facilities for re-refining any scrap gold produced in the jewellery manufacturing process. This initiative aims to assist gold jewellery manufacturers to beneficiate African gold for export and to assist local communities with skills development. The Gold Zone, assisted by the African Growth Opportunity Act, offers the added advantage of exporting jewellery to the USA. The facility also houses a number of skills development projects aimed at uplifting local communities, and with a view to employment in the jewellery manufacturing industry. The following projects are located in the Gold Zone: Intsika Skills Beneficiation Project (Intsika) is a section 21 organisation. Using precious and semi-precious minerals and stones, it teaches skills in mineral beneficiation. Founded in 2002, it began operating in 2004 at its current location in the Gold Zone. The project was developed to assist in the development of the youth, particularly given the high rate of unemployment in the area, as well as the need to promote beneficiation, encourage entrepreneurship and reduce poverty among young people from historically disadvantaged backgrounds. Trainees earn credits by participating in the project, and these can usually be applied towards a National Certificate in Jewellery Manufacturing. The Ekurhuleni Jewellery Project was launched in mid-2009, and caters for industry-based skills programmes and the development of small, medium-sized and microenterprises (SMMEs). Learners receive some theoretical training, and participation in the project adds the necessary practical skills. It also provides them with a nationally recognised qualification. After a training period, learners are upskilled for the relevant industry. These SMME incubators offer qualified, emerging jewellers access to fully-equipped workshops, production services and technical support. These entrepreneurs are provided with an opportunity to develop their own businesses in a secure and enabling environment sponsored by the Ekurhuleni municipality. The Ekurhuleni Jewellery project provides support for the industry by providing accredited short courses, skills programmes and has a recognition-of-prior-learning system in its Training for the Trade programmes. See www.randrefinery.co.za for more information.
