WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Further to the cautionary announcement dated 5 February 2003, shareholders of
Kumba are referred to the results announcement made by Anglo American plc
("Anglo") on 28 February 2003 in which it indicated that it had exercised its
option to acquire a further 10.5% of Kumba. As a result, Anglo now holds 20.1%
of the issued share capital of Kumba.
In the cautionary announcement dated 5 February 2003, shareholders were advised
that Anglo was awaiting the competition and regulatory approvals required prior
to exercising the right to acquire a further 10.0% of the issued share capital
of Kumba. Anglo is still awaiting such approvals.
In view of the fact that the uncertainty regarding the extent of Anglo"s future
shareholding in Kumba is now reduced, the company believes it is no longer
necessary to advise shareholders to exercise caution when dealing in the
company"s securities and accordingly withdraws its previous cautionary
announcement.
