Zambezi Platinum was successfully listed on the Main Board of the JSE on Monday.
Zambezi Platinum (RF) Limited (Zambezi Platinum), is a special pur-pose vehicle created to house the newly constituted HDSA shareholding in Northam Platinum Limited (Northam).
Zambezi Platinum will benefi cially hold 159 905 453 Northam shares, amounting to approximately 31.4% of the total issued ordinary share capital of Northam. Zambezi Platinum’s preference shares which will be issued to participants on 18 May 2015 at R41 per share, provide an affordable oppor-tunity for a broad range of investors, over and above those directly invested in Northam, to gain exposure to this exciting sector. The preference shares will trade under the ZPLP ticker symbol.
Speaking at the JSE on Monday, chairman elect of Zambezi Platinum, Mr Lazarus Zim, described the nature of the transaction which saw the establishment of Zambezi Platinum and which has revitalized Northam’s em-powerment status, as unique and unprecedented. “Unlike many prior BEE transactions, everyone party to this transaction is protected from the vicis-situdes of the market through the ringfencing of Zambezi. With Northam’s strong balance sheet, visionary and energetic leadership, we can now pursue value-accretive growth opportunities which will benefi t shareholders and all stakeholders alike.”
Northam chief executive Paul Dunne added, “This landmark transaction recognises the fundamental value of Northam along with its growth potential. Now, with meaningful and sustainable empowerment participation, we are well poised to realise further upside.”
Much like its namesake, one of Africa’s greatest waterways, Zambezi Platinum seeks to ensure that there is signifi cant value and benefi t fl owing through to a broad range of stakeholders – communities, employees, a women’s group and a core of strategic partners who offer fi nancial, legal and business skills, supportive of Northam’s ambitions.
The Zambezi Platinum listing wil enable Northam Platinum to make ac-quisitions and expand operations after paying R4.6bn as part of the deal.
Preference-share investors will be paid an annual dividend at South Africa’s benchmark retail-lending rate, known as the prime rate, plus 3.5 percentage points, according to a notice on Northam’s website. Northam announced a deal in February to buy the Everest mine, which is contiguous to Booysendal, between Steelpoort, Lydenburg and Roossenekal for R450m from Aquarius Platinum. The company announced the transaction with Zam-bezi in October after the stakes of its previous black owners, Afripalm and Mvelaphanda Holdings, got eroded as the investment companies had to sell part of their holdings to repay loans.

On 16 April the group called “Angels” with the support of Hip Hop cares, donated a full set of school uniforms to 20 children at Shopiane Primary School. The children were fi lled with joy at the receiving the gifts.The ‘Angels’ are not a formal group affi liated to anyone, they are simply a group of women
in the Burgersfort area who are thankful for the blessings they have and would like to share it. Last year they visited two schools in Bothashoek where they donated shoes. After seeing many orphaned children without proper school uniforms the women decided to address this issue in 2015. The packages they delivered this year were specially packed and marked with a personal touch. The ‘Angels’ would like to thank Hip Hop Cares and Ackermans Tubatse Cross-ing. They thank everyone who contributed and thank the Lord for the blessings they are able to share. “We try to remember this: “Matthew 10:42: ‘And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward’”.(Information and photographs: Ruth Makena, ‘Angels’ group)

Juan van Zyl het egter vir Ohrigstad ‘n drie gedruk en ‘n skepskop oorgesit. Hy is ook as die span se Agterspeler van die Wedstryd aangewys. Thinus van Rooyen was die Voor-speler van die Wedstryd. Die eindtelling was 8-16 in Komatipoort se guns. Ohrigstad lê tans tweede op die ranglys en die tweede rondte wedstryde begin hierdie Saterdag. Dan speel Ohrigstad teen Ha-zyview op Ohrigstad.
