2. SUMMARY OF EXPERIENCE
Having matriculated in 1993 at Stilfontein High School in Stilfontein, I proceeded to the North West
University where I studied for a period of several years and completed B Com, Hons. Comm and
eventually M Comm. degrees in Industrial Psychology in 2005. I have also completed an MBA.
During my 3 year full time study period from 1994-1996, I worked at different companies on a part time
basis to enable myself to pay study fees.
In 1996, I started working as Project Manager in a Company that administers RDP housing projects in the
Northwest Province where I gained valuable experience in Project Management and relationships with
Government. Thereafter, from 1999 – 2001, I managed two business colleges in Klerksdorp and then
proceeded into my field of study and interest namely Human Resources.
I joined AngloGold Ashanti in 2001 and I started my career at as Assistant Human Resources Officer
responsible for bonuses. Within a year I was placed on a fast tracking Management Development Scheme
(HR Management Trainee programme). I have since gained the following experience within the Human
Resources / Management field:
Process related production experience in a Shaft environment
Production related experience in a Shaft environment as a Assistant Human Resources Officer ,
Human Resources Officer and Snr Human Resources Officer at various Anglogold Ashanti Mines
Project Experience at AngloGold Ashanti’s Moab Khotsong Project and Project Katleho and in 2010-
2011 in Anglogold Ashanti’s ONE project as member of the Implementation team, 2012 as member of
the oneERP SAP implementation team.
Management experience: 8 years as Snr HR officer and 3 years as EXCO member: Human Resources
for Anglogold Ashanti Health Service.
I am confident that I have sufficient experience in the following main HR functions:
Organizational Development and change management
Training and Development (including areas such as ABET, Performance Management, Time and
Attendance Management, HIV Aids management)
Talent pool and EE development
Labour / Industrial Relations
Staffing of a responsibility area including Employment Equity, Leave plans, Budget plans etc
General Administration (Payroll , Time and Attendance Related etc)
Recruitment processes
General facilitation of relationships
Experience in managing payroll
EE administration and compliance
I believe that I was fortunate enough to have gained a tremendous amount of project, mining and HR
related experience and exposure over a 13-year career with Anglogold Ashanti that will make me a
valuable contributor to the team.
