ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM   COMMENCES   DISCIPLINARY   ACTION   AGAINST
STRIKING EMPLOYEES

Anglo American Platinum is providing an update in respect of its
Rustenburg operations, following resumption of those operations on
Tuesday 18 September 2012.

Anglo American Platinum confirms the employee attendance rate at
its Rustenburg mines remains below 20%, notwithstanding the
Company’s repeated calls for striking employees to return to work.
As   indicated  yesterday,   disciplinary   action  against   those
employees participating in illegal strike action has commenced.

Chris Griffith, CEO of Anglo American Platinum, said: “Despite
repeatedly urging our employees to come back to work, attendance
at our Rustenburg operations remains low. We have been left with
no choice but to initiate disciplinary action, which could lead to
dismissals.”

Further updates will be provided when appropriate.
