Johannesburg. Monday, 1 August 2011. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited 
("Harmony" or "the Company") today announced that Alwyn Pretorius has been

Harmony and achieving a safe, productive Harmony is something on which we will 
not compromise. We have a number of safety initiatives in place that have 
resulted in excellent safety achievements in recent years. But, we need to do 
more. We have decided to intensify our safety efforts by appointing Alwyn, who 
has both an extensive understanding of the underground environment, but also 
the leadership skills to achieve the step-change in safety performance that we 
are seeking. We adopted this approach several years ago at Kusasalethu. Our 
approach here was clear - safety first, then production will follow. We are 
committed to implementing this across the group. 
 
Both Alwyn and Jaco are knowledgeable and well-experienced and we look forward 
to their contributions in their new and related roles."
