Kumba’s response to COVID-19 measures
Kumba notes the statement made by the President of the Republic of South Africa on the evening of
Monday 23 March 2020 in relation to a 21-day nationwide lockdown, to take effect at midnight on Thursday
26 March 2020, in order to help curb the spread of COVID-19 in South Africa. Kumba will review the detailed
regulations relating to this action that are being published, including in relation to exemptions for certain
business activities, and will issue a further statement in due course.
Kumba’s priorities are the safety, health and wellbeing of our people and all those who interact with our
business around the world. We recognise the critical role that our operations play in our host operating
countries, including in terms of jobs and our local communities. We are therefore also working together with
the Government of South Africa to ensure the continuity of our business where appropriate in order to
minimise any unintended consequences of the announced lockdown.
