Our commitment
to black economic
empowerment and
entrepreneurial
development has
for many years
formed a strategic
part of our business
rationale
Philip Baum, Acting CEO, Anglo American South Africa
It is tremendously exciting
for Anglo American and
its 18-year-old enterprise
development and empowerment
initiative Anglo Zimele to be
participating at the 2006
Electra Mining Show.
Anglo American is taking this
opportunity to showcase its
current and past investment
companies as well as a
number of the enterprises with
which it has an association
or partnership. We are proud
to have on board those
companies which are ‘old
friends’ along with new ones
in the Anglo Zimele fold.
Much of my own career at
Anglo American has seen
the facilitation of entry for
emerging black business
into South Africa’s economic
mainstream; starting back in
1989 with the formation of our
enterprise development unit
now known as Anglo Zimele.
This has entailed a dual
approach: on the one hand
we have put together the
”
big deals that have led to
black owned and managed
companies of substance such
as Johnnic, African Rainbow
Minerals, Mvelaphanda,
Eyesizwe and Exxaro. At the
other end of the scale, we have
Anglo Zimele creating SME
opportunities in the BEE arena.
Over the past 18 years, the
Anglo American Group has
been responsible for BEE deals
worth around R35 billion.
Procurement is an area in which
the corporate centre and all
operations have experienced
considerable success. Since
1993, total Anglo American
Group procurement from BEE
companies has reached some R26 billion. For 2005 alone,
the figure was R8.2 billion,
an increase of 51% over the
previous year. Today, almost
40% of the Group’s total BEE
spend is with SME companies.
Our commitment to black
economic empowerment and
entrepreneurial development
has, for many years, formed a
strategic part of our business
rationale. It not only allows
us to identify and achieve
significant cost efficiencies
in our supply chain, but sees
us contributing to one of
South Africa’s most thriving
socio-economic sectors.
It is only in this way that
the challenges of black
economic empowerment can
be met and our procurement
and business development
initiatives bear fruit.

Partnering with

Godfrey Gomwe, COO, Anglo American South Africa and Chairman, Anglo Zimele
Anglo Zimele is extremely
proud to once again be
showcasing our investee
companies and partners.
Following the success of the
Presidential Exhibition in July
2005, the Electra Mining
Show presents an ideal
opportunity to boost market
awareness for our small and
medium enterprises (SMEs),
to meet new and prospective
black empowerment partners,
and for companies wishing
to transform, to meet us.
blueprint for many similar
initiatives. It has also served
as a guideline for the thought
leaders that have developed
the BEE codes of best practice.
Various external organisations
have visited our businesses and
drawn from our experiences
and expertise to implement
their own BEE SME processes.
Our experiences, successes
and even failures have shown
us that within South Africa
entrepreneurs have immense
potential. As Anglo American,
we like to continuously tap into
this potential, recognising the
many opportunities for South
African men and women, young
and old, to share knowledge,
experience and resources.
There has been strong year-onyear growth in this area which
could not have been achieved
without the commitment of
Anglo American’s business
units. Anglo Zimele is currently
invested in over 30 black
empowered SMEs which
collectively employ in excess
of 2,200 people. Since 1989
we have been invested in some
150 enterprises for which
we have provided financial
support through equity and
loans coupled with hands-on
guidance and technical support.
Anglo American was a pioneer
in the early days, long before
BEE and transformation were
legislated, and created a
Anglo American and Anglo
Zimele have learned that, for
enterprise development to
work, a tactical combination
of secure funding structures
and business partner
mentoring is necessary.
We firmly believe that Anglo
Zimele has made an impact
on the South African business
landscape, and thus continue
to explore ways of growing
the SME sector and partnering
with people who possess
a passion for business.

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

Go-Awaste Management Services
ANGLO KHULA
MINING FUND
INVESTING WHERE
IT COUNTS
Shifting the mining
landscape of South Africa
Adding value to its
investments
The Anglo Khula Mining Fund,
launched in March 2003,
seeks to facilitate the entry
of junior, but commercially
viable, mining ventures into
the mainstream mining sector.
Anglo Zimele’s role in any
merger or acquisition is to
provide a suite of offerings
and services, from financial
assistance and mentoring to
business plans and training
programmes. It ensures that the
highest standards of integrity
regarding the principles of
BEE, ethics and corporate
governance are met, while
seeking to foster long-term
and sustainable relationships
with the entrepreneurs
and business partners.
It provides a maximum of R7.5 million in seed capital
to assist junior mining
companies with the feasibility
phases of mining projects
which, in turn, enable these
companies to raise finance
from commercial financiers
for the commissioning
of mining operations.
The Anglo Khula Mining
Fund is invested in four
mining ventures, with five
approved investments in the
implementation phase.
“
Anglo Khula
Mining Fund
Investments
collectively
turned over
R216 million
in 2005
(R87 million in
2004)
”
At the outset, Anglo Zimele’s
involvement is intensive as
it seeks to engage with the
companies and their new
empowerment partners. The
fund’s minority stake in
companies allows Anglo Zimele
access to and influence in key
decision-making processes.
Anglo Zimele’s comprehensive
value offering includes:
• Development of business
plans
• Assistance with the selection
of the BEE partner
• Provision of finance for the
acquisition of assets
and working capital
• Assistance with company
formation and provision of
ongoing company secretarial
and administrative services
• Assistance with the
integration of the BEE
partner into the business
• The development of a
training and development
plan for the transfer of
skills to the BEE partner
• General mentoring and
coaching of the BEE partner
• Assistance with marketing the
business to Anglo American’s
business units, specifically
for supply linkages, market
development and expansion
• Leveraging from Anglo
Zimele’s identity and
branding to obtain additional
funding where necessary
• Provision of ongoing
strategic, operational,
financial and business support
through representation
on the board in a nonexecutive capacity
• Guidance on corporate
governance issues, corporate
ethics, safety, health and
environment standards, and
HIV and AIDS. This may
require the services of Anglo
American’s departments in
disciplines such as technical,
legal, employee relations,
human resources, public
affairs and media relations
The word Zimele is derived from the African languages Zulu
and Xhosa and is translated as
‘to be independent’ or ‘to stand on one’s own feet’.

collected by hand each month
and, of Mapochs Mine’s 890
hectares, 250 hectares require
immediate collection.
All employees, four of
whom are women, reside in
communities close to the mine.
This concept could also be
applied at coal operations by
way of removing remnants of
coal from the pits and cleaning
spillages at tipping points.
The fledgling company expects a
turnover of more than R740,000
within the next year and is
