Toronto-listed Ivanhoe Mines has appointed two women, each with more than 25 years’ business experience with Africa-based companies to its board as independent directors.
Nunu Ntshingila, regional director of Facebook Africa, and Martie Janse van Rensburg, former CEO of Trans-Caledon Tunnel Authority, have joined the company’s board.
Ntshingila's expertise is in marketing and advertising, while Janse van Rensburg has particular proficiency in accounting, capital markets, project finance and infrastructure development.
"We are proud of the growing team of talented South African and Congolese women at all levels of our company. They have embraced our goal of environmental, health and safety excellence, and, through their efforts, are helping us to build what will be three of the world's best mines in Southern Africa's legendary mineral fields," commented Ivanhoe Mines co-chairperson Robert Friedland.
