LOSS-OF-LIFE INCIDENT AT HARMONY’S KUSASALETHU MINE

Johannesburg, Wednesday, 6 September 2023. Harmony Gold Mining Company
Limited (“Harmony”) regrets to announce that two employees tragically lost
their lives at its Kusasalethu mine, following a fall of ground incident
caused by a seismic event on Tuesday, 5 September 2023, in Carletonville,
near Gauteng.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleagues. Harmony continues
its focus on embedding its risk management practice to create a more
engaged and proactive safety culture. The inclusion and involvement of all
Harmony stakeholders in all aspects of safety demonstrate a unified
commitment   to  prevent   accidents   through  our   ongoing   humanistic
transformation safety journey.” said Peter Steenkamp, chief executive
officer of Harmony.

Our prayers are with the deceased's families, friends and colleagues during
this time of tragedy. The family members, colleagues and the relevant
authorities have been informed.

The work area has since been temporarily closed pending an internal
investigation.

A safety shift has been declared in remembrance of our departed colleagues
for the 6th of September 2023, to reinforce safety messages and procedures.

The safety of our employees remain our priority, and we endeavour to
ensure that all safety protocols are adhered to at all times.
