“Anglo American South Africa is extremely saddened to learn about the passing of Dr. Nelson Mandela, and wishes to offer our sincerest sympathies to his family and all the citizens of South Africa.
“His visionary, inclusive and even-handed leadership was truly the building blocks on which our thriving democracy was built, and the political sacrifices he made during his lifetime continue to benefit everyone in our country.
“The history books will view Madiba in a favourable light; and generations of future students around the world will be taught about his immeasurable legacy to both South Africa and the world. He will be remembered for his determination to achieve equality for all our citizens, the conviction he displayed throughout his life, and his dedication to uplifting society’s most vulnerable.
“As the largest mining company in South Africa, Anglo American will constantly strive to emulate his achievements by committing wholeheartedly to making a real difference in the prosperity and sustainability of our citizens.”
