Forgive me if something similar might have been posted.just a little bit of research from my brother(not mate,ha,ha!) who is a finance guy and recently taken a position in Nkp.Looks like we might be getting some powerful people on our side which even Anglo cann't write-off.The bit about the NUM is very interesting.Also a few links for weekened reading.Well,atleast it might take our minds off a frustrated week.
But one thing about NKP and DRA (the one doing the BFS), DRA has a sister company called Minopex
http://www.minopex.co.za/company-profile.html
Now 25% of Minopex is owned by Shanduka
http://www.shanduka.co.za/about-us/index.html
Shanduka is a huge company involved in every thing in SA from coal mines to cocacola and macdonolds. The interesting thing is the owner :
Shanduka Group was founded by " Cyril Ramaphosa " in 2001 as a black owned investment holding company.In the 1980s founded the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM), which he built up to become the most powerful trade union in the country.
" Apart from serving as Executive Chairman of the Shanduka Group, Cyril Ramaphosa is also the Executive Chairman of MTN Group and Mondi PLC, and sits on the board of Standard Bank Group and Coca Cola’s International Public Policy Advisory board and the Commonwealth Business Council. And while the media continually speculates that Ramaphosa could be a future presidential candidate, he swears he has no political ambitions. Only time will tell.
