Philip Baum, Acting CEO, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> South Africa<br />
It is tremendously exciting<br />
for <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> and<br />
its 18-year-old enterprise<br />
development and empowerment<br />
initiative <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> to be<br />
participating at the 2006<br />
Electra Mining Show.<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> is taking this<br />
opportunity to showcase its<br />
current and past investment<br />
companies as well as a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> the enterprises with<br />
which it has an association<br />
or partnership. We are proud<br />
to have on board those<br />
companies which are ‘old<br />
friends’ along with new ones<br />
in the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> fold.<br />
Much <strong>of</strong> my own career at<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> has seen<br />
the facilitation <strong>of</strong> entry for<br />
emerging black business<br />
into South Africa’s economic<br />
mainstream; starting back in<br />
1989 with the formation <strong>of</strong> our<br />
enterprise development unit<br />
now known as <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong>.<br />
This has entailed a dual<br />
approach: on the one hand<br />
we have put together the<br />
“Our commitment<br />
to black economic<br />
empowerment and<br />
entrepreneurial<br />
development has<br />
for many years<br />
formed a strategic<br />
part <strong>of</strong> our business<br />
rationale<br />
”<br />
big deals that have led to<br />
black owned and managed<br />
companies <strong>of</strong> substance such<br />
as Johnnic, African Rainbow<br />
Minerals, Mvelaphanda,<br />
Eyesizwe and Exxaro. At the<br />
other end <strong>of</strong> the scale, we have<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> creating SME<br />
opportunities in the BEE arena.<br />
Over the past 18 years, the<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> Group has<br />
been responsible for BEE deals<br />
worth around R35 billion.<br />
Procurement is an area in which<br />
the corporate centre and all<br />
operations have experienced<br />
considerable success. Since<br />
1993, total <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong><br />
Group procurement from BEE<br />
companies has reached some<br />
R26 billion. For 2005 alone,<br />
the figure was R8.2 billion,<br />
an increase <strong>of</strong> 51% over the<br />
previous year. Today, almost<br />
40% <strong>of</strong> the Group’s total BEE<br />
spend is with SME companies.<br />
Our commitment to black<br />
economic empowerment and<br />
entrepreneurial development<br />
has, for many years, formed a<br />
strategic part <strong>of</strong> our business<br />
rationale. It not only allows<br />
us to identify and achieve<br />
significant cost efficiencies<br />
in our supply chain, but sees<br />
us contributing to one <strong>of</strong><br />
South Africa’s most thriving<br />
socio-economic sectors.<br />
It is only in this way that<br />
the challenges <strong>of</strong> black<br />
economic empowerment can<br />
be met and our procurement<br />
and business development<br />
initiatives bear fruit.<br />
Acting CEO, <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>American</strong> South Africa
Message from Godfrey Gomwe<br />
Message from<br />
Godfrey Gomwe<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> is extremely<br />
proud to once again be<br />
showcasing our investee<br />
companies and partners.<br />
Following the success <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Presidential Exhibition in July<br />
2005, the Electra Mining<br />
Show presents an ideal<br />
opportunity to boost market<br />
awareness for our small and<br />
medium enterprises (SMEs),<br />
to meet new and prospective<br />
black empowerment partners,<br />
and for companies wishing<br />
to transform, to meet us.<br />
Our experiences, successes<br />
and even failures have shown<br />
us that within South Africa<br />
entrepreneurs have immense<br />
potential. As <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong>,<br />
we like to continuously tap into<br />
this potential, recognising the<br />
many opportunities for South<br />
African men and women, young<br />
and old, to share knowledge,<br />
experience and resources.<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> was a pioneer<br />
in the early days, long before<br />
BEE and transformation were<br />
legislated, and created a<br />
“Partnering with<br />
people who possess<br />
a passion for<br />
business<br />
”<br />
blueprint for many similar<br />
initiatives. It has also served<br />
as a guideline for the thought<br />
leaders that have developed<br />
the BEE codes <strong>of</strong> best practice.<br />
Various external organisations<br />
have visited our businesses and<br />
drawn from our experiences<br />
and expertise to implement<br />
their own BEE SME processes.<br />
There has been strong year-onyear<br />
growth in this area which<br />
could not have been achieved<br />
without the commitment <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong>’s business<br />
units. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> is currently<br />
invested in over 30 black<br />
empowered SMEs which<br />
collectively employ in excess<br />
<strong>of</strong> 2,200 people. Since 1989<br />
we have been invested in some<br />
150 enterprises for which<br />
we have provided financial<br />
support through equity and<br />
loans coupled with hands-on<br />
guidance and technical support.<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> and <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>Zimele</strong> have learned that, for<br />
enterprise development to<br />
work, a tactical combination<br />
Godfrey Gomwe, COO, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> South Africa and Chairman, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> secure funding structures<br />
and business partner<br />
mentoring is necessary.<br />
We firmly believe that <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>Zimele</strong> has made an impact<br />
on the South African business<br />
landscape, and thus continue<br />
to explore ways <strong>of</strong> growing<br />
the SME sector and partnering<br />
with people who possess<br />
a passion for business.<br />

ABOUT ANGLO ZIMELE<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> is the enterprise<br />
development and empowerment<br />
initiative <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong>.<br />
For 18 years it has aspired<br />
to create sustainable,<br />
commercially viable<br />
businesses that are managed<br />
by people with passion and<br />
entrepreneurial spirit.<br />
Its focus lies in the investment<br />
in black empowered SMEs<br />
which demonstrate a<br />
commercially viable and<br />
sustainable business or<br />
business plan. Each investment<br />
is funded on a deal-by-deal<br />
basis.<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong>’s SME business<br />
development and empowerment<br />
model, applied by <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>American</strong>, its divisions and<br />
operations to facilitate the<br />
development <strong>of</strong> the SME<br />
sector, comprises three<br />
primary investment pillars:<br />
procurement, business<br />
development and the <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
Khula Mining Fund.<br />
The <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong> Group has<br />
recorded a total BEE investment<br />
<strong>of</strong> R26 billion (in 2005 real<br />
terms) in BEE procurement<br />
from 1993 to December 2005.<br />
Including SME development,<br />
this amounts to R28 billion.<br />
BEE procurement jumped 51%<br />
from R5.4 billion in 2004 to<br />
R8.2 billion in 2005. SME<br />
development rose 121%<br />
from R352 million in 2004<br />
to R777 million in 2005.<br />
“<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong><br />
is currently<br />
invested in over<br />
30 businesses<br />
employing over<br />
2,200 people<br />
”<br />
PROCUREMENT<br />
Enterprise development<br />
in the supply chain<br />
The <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> team<br />
interacts closely with <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>American</strong>’s divisional<br />
procurement departments<br />
and assists with identifying<br />
BEE suppliers who can<br />
participate within their supply<br />
chains. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> also<br />
collates the procurement<br />
figures <strong>of</strong> each division and<br />
operation and produces a<br />
consolidated BEE procurement<br />
position each quarter.<br />
BUSINESS<br />
DEVELOPMENT<br />
Building businesses,<br />
creating employment and<br />
sustainable wealth<br />
The business development<br />
aspect <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong><br />
involves an investment fund<br />
which provides loan and equity<br />
finance to support start-up<br />
or expanding businesses.<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> actively pursues<br />
investment opportunities at<br />
the operating divisions. All<br />
potential opportunities must<br />
exhibit commercial viability<br />
and growth prospects, and<br />
must seek to actively involve<br />
an entrepreneur in the daily<br />
operations <strong>of</strong> the business.<br />
Once a credible investment<br />
opportunity has been identified,<br />
the <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> team<br />
seeks out a suitable black<br />
empowerment partner, conducts<br />
a due diligence exercise and<br />
assists in the compilation <strong>of</strong><br />
a business plan. The business<br />
plan is submitted to the <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>Zimele</strong> board for approval.<br />
Upon approval, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong><br />
acquires a minority equity<br />
stake in the business and an<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong> representative<br />
is appointed to the new<br />
company’s board <strong>of</strong> directors.<br />
At times it is necessary to<br />
dilute existing shareholdings<br />
in emerging businesses and<br />
to introduce a technical<br />
and/or strategic business<br />
partner for capacity building,<br />
growth and expansion.<br />
A hands-on approach, through<br />
strategic guidance and skills<br />
transfer, is fundamental<br />
to the initial growth and<br />
success <strong>of</strong> these businesses.<br />
Inputs include advice on<br />
business principles, corporate<br />
governance and strategy.<br />
At the outset this is significant,<br />
but with time the dependency<br />
lessens, thereby realising<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong>’s underlying<br />
philosophy <strong>of</strong> independence<br />
through enterprise. A clear<br />
exit strategy is also defined in<br />
the shareholding agreement.<br />

ANGLO KHULA<br />
MINING FUND<br />
Shifting the mining<br />
landscape <strong>of</strong> South Africa<br />
The <strong>Anglo</strong> Khula Mining Fund,<br />
launched in March 2003,<br />
seeks to facilitate the entry<br />
<strong>of</strong> junior, but commercially<br />
viable, mining ventures into<br />
the mainstream mining sector.<br />
It provides a maximum <strong>of</strong><br />
R7.5 million in seed capital<br />
to assist junior mining<br />
companies with the feasibility<br />
phases <strong>of</strong> mining projects<br />
which, in turn, enable these<br />
companies to raise finance<br />
from commercial financiers<br />
for the commissioning<br />
<strong>of</strong> mining operations.<br />
The <strong>Anglo</strong> Khula Mining<br />
Fund is invested in four<br />
mining ventures, with five<br />
approved investments in the<br />
implementation phase.<br />
“<strong>Anglo</strong> Khula<br />
Mining Fund<br />
Investments<br />

INVESTING WHERE<br />
IT COUNTS<br />
Adding value to its<br />
investments<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong>’s role in any<br />
merger or acquisition is to<br />
provide a suite <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>ferings<br />
and services, from financial<br />
assistance and mentoring to<br />
business plans and training<br />
programmes. It ensures that the<br />
highest standards <strong>of</strong> integrity<br />
regarding the principles <strong>of</strong><br />
BEE, ethics and corporate<br />
governance are met, while<br />
seeking to foster long-term<br />
and sustainable relationships<br />
with the entrepreneurs<br />
and business partners.<br />
At the outset, <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong>’s<br />
involvement is intensive as<br />
it seeks to engage with the<br />
companies and their new<br />
empowerment partners. The<br />
fund’s minority stake in<br />
companies allows <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong><br />
access to and influence in key<br />
decision-making processes.<br />
<strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong>’s comprehensive<br />
value <strong>of</strong>fering includes:<br />
• Development <strong>of</strong> business<br />
plans<br />
• Assistance with the selection<br />
<strong>of</strong> the BEE partner<br />
• Provision <strong>of</strong> finance for the<br />
acquisition <strong>of</strong> assets<br />
and working capital<br />
• Assistance with company<br />
formation and provision <strong>of</strong><br />
ongoing company secretarial<br />
and administrative services<br />
• Assistance with the<br />
integration <strong>of</strong> the BEE<br />
partner into the business<br />
• The development <strong>of</strong> a<br />
training and development<br />
plan for the transfer <strong>of</strong><br />
skills to the BEE partner<br />
• General mentoring and<br />
coaching <strong>of</strong> the BEE partner<br />
• Assistance with marketing the<br />
business to <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>American</strong>’s<br />
business units, specifically<br />
for supply linkages, market<br />
development and expansion<br />
• Leveraging from <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>Zimele</strong>’s identity and<br />
branding to obtain additional<br />
funding where necessary<br />
• Provision <strong>of</strong> ongoing<br />
strategic, operational,<br />
financial and business support<br />
through representation<br />
on the board in a nonexecutive<br />
capacity<br />
• Guidance on corporate<br />
governance issues, corporate<br />
ethics, safety, health and<br />
environment standards, and<br />
HIV and AIDS. This may<br />
require the services <strong>of</strong> <strong>Anglo</strong><br />
<strong>American</strong>’s departments in<br />
disciplines such as technical,<br />
legal, employee relations,<br />
human resources, public<br />
affairs and media relations<br />
The word <strong>Zimele</strong> is derived<br />
from the African languages Zulu<br />
and Xhosa and is translated as<br />
‘to be independent’ or<br />
‘to stand on one’s own feet’.

Iron ore collection by hand at<br />
Highveld Steel’s Mapochs Mine<br />
Itireleng Ore Reclamation has<br />
brought about meaningful<br />
empowerment and opportunities<br />
for job creation in the<br />
Mpumalanga area. <strong>Anglo</strong> <strong>Zimele</strong><br />
and empowerment partner<br />
Bob Moloi joined hands to forge<br />
the black owned company<br />
which collects ore by hand<br />
at mining operations.<br />
Mechanical collection methods<br />
leave behind considerable<br />
amounts <strong>of</strong> ore and this created<br />
an ideal opportunity to form<br />
a new enterprise, and initial<br />
employment for 30 people.<br />
Itireleng has secured a contract<br />
with Highveld Steel’s Mapochs<br />
Mine. On average, an extra<br />
2,600 tonnes <strong>of</strong> ore can be<br />
collected by hand each month<br />
and, <strong>of</strong> Mapochs Mine’s 890<br />
hectares, 250 hectares require<br />
immediate collection.<br />
All employees, four <strong>of</strong><br />
whom are women, reside in<br />
communities close to the mine.<br />
This concept could also be<br />
applied at coal operations by<br />
way <strong>of</strong> removing remnants <strong>of</strong><br />
coal from the pits and cleaning<br />
spillages at tipping points.<br />
The fledgling company expects a<br />
turnover <strong>of</strong> more than R740,000<br />
within the next year and is<br />
looking into taking over the<br />
screening processes at the mine.<br />
Moloi, managing director <strong>of</strong><br />
