Cape Town - President Thabo Mbeki and Anglo American plc`s top executives met behind close doors at Mbeki`s home in Cape Town on Tuesday.
Anglo American plc chief executive Tony Trahar, accompanied by Anglo American South Africa`s newly appointed CE Lazarus Zim, and chairperson Mark Moody-Stuart requested the meeting to discuss the company`s financial results.
These were released earlier this year.
Presidential spokesperson Bheki Khumalo said there was nothing unusual about this and that the president often had discussions with the leaders of businesses operating in South Africa.

It reported a profit increase of 45% to post a second-half record of US$1.2bn (about R6.9bn) after the Chinese economy`s demand for metals ranging from copper to iron ore.
