Harmony appoints a general manager at Bambanani

Johannesburg. Tuesday, 21 April. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (Harmony)
is pleased to announce the appointment of a new general manager, Zwele Ndese,
at its Bambanani mine in the Free State.

Ndese began his career in the mining industry 15 years ago, as a management
trainee and moved up the ranks. He completed a National Higher Diploma in
metaliferous mining in 1998 and then obtained the Mine Manager's Certificate of
Competency three years later.

During his career, Ndese worked at various underground gold mines, mainly in
the Free State. He first joined Harmony in 2004 as a production coach at
Tshepong and was promoted to mine manager at Evander 7 shaft in 2006. Two years
later Ndese was transferred to Elandsrand. He later accepted an external
promotional post of mine manager, and less than a year later he has returned to
Harmony as a general manager.

Harmony's Chief Executive, Graham Briggs says, "Ndese has been a valuable asset
to our team over the years and has made a significant contribution to Harmony.
We welcome him back and we are confident that he will continue to add value and
strength to our Bambanani team."
