Gold mining major Harmony Gold has been hit by an attempted armed robbery at its Kalgold plant, in the North West, in the early hours of Friday morning.

The JSE-listed firm said that a reaction unit superviser, employed by a contracted security company, was fatally wounded in the attack. No gold was stolen.

Harmony extended its condolences to the bereaved and said that the matter was now the subject of a police investigation.

South Africa’s gold industry is reeling under an increased number of attacks by heavily armed gunmen at their processing plants, looking for easy and lucrative access to the metal.
