Ms Nyembezi-Heita said: “Although challenging, over the last six years as a management team, we have achieved significant advances in a number of areas. Our safety performance is now world-class and we have also taken huge strides towards meeting our environmental obligations. There is steady progress in our operational improvement programmes with pleasing results in places. As the market turns, we can expect a marked improvement in our financial performance, aided in no small measure by the recent settlement with Kumba.” On behalf of the Board, the Chairman Mr Mpho Makwana thanked Ms Nyembezi-Heita for her tremendous contribution to the Company during an exceptionally challenging period not only for the Company, but the steel industry generally. Mr Makwana wished her success in the next chapter of her career and commented that the Company is in a considerably better position than when Ms Nyembezi-Heita joined the group six years ago, stating: “On behalf of the Board of ArcelorMittal South Africa and the ArcelorMittal Group, we express our thanks for her unstinting dedication, guidance as well as her calm and determined leadership". Mr Makwana said the Board will embark on a search for Ms Nyembezi-Heita’s successor and an announcement on the transitional period will be made in due course. 9 December 2013 Sponsor to ArcelorMittal South Africa Limited J.P.
