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.”
