The board confirms that the two appointments are integral for strengthening the company’s governance, oversight and strategic capability.

Kgatle is a mining executive with over 20 years’ experience across operational, strategic and leadership roles in the mining industry, having previously served as Sasol Mining senior VP, where he oversaw large-scale operations producing about 40-million tonnes of thermal coal each year and a workforce of more than 13 000 employees.

He is the founder and CEO of Tlou Holdings and Tlou Commodities, investment platforms focused on sectors critical to African development, including mining, energy, infrastructure and agriculture.
