The company announced that Robert van Niekerk has been appointed as executive vice president: SA region. Van Niekerk has been an integral part of the company’s executive team since he joined Sibanye in February 2013 and has fulfilled various roles within the organisation, including, most recently as divisional CEO: platinum.

“With the significant increase in size and geographical spread of the company, this regionalised organisational structure will provide effective leadership, ensuring appropriate focus and skills allocation in well-defined geographical regions and corporate functions. This focus coupled with a strong executive presence in clearly understood social and cultural regions will position Sibanye for continued success,” Neal Froneman, CEO of Sibanye said.
