Johannesburg, 30 September 2002 - Harmony`s chairman, Mr Adam Fleming, today
announced that Ms Nolitha Fakude and Mr Simo Lushaba have accepted invitations

"Harmony could not be more pleased that two such capable people have agree to
join our board`, said Adam.
Nolitha Fakude is the Managing Director of the Black Management Forum (BMF). She
holds Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees in Psychology, Education and English and a
BA Honours degree in Psychology.
Nolitha has also completed a Senior Executive Programme at Harvard Business

In 2001 Nolitha took up the position at the BMF where she oversaw the delivery
of the organisation`s strategies and objectives and gave guidance and support to
the regional offices with respect to their operational plans. Her role includes
