HARMONY TO FUND POLITICAL PROCESS IN SOUTH AFRICA                               
Johannesburg, Wednesday 10 March 2004 - Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited     
(NYSE: HMY JSE: HAR) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved   
an amount of R3,0 million to assist in the development and enhancement of the   
democratic process in the forthcoming elections. This decision has been made    
in line with Harmony"s on-going support of a multi-party democracy in South     
Africa, as well as the company"s commitment to both its own and the country"s   
sustainability.                                                                 
To regulate the funding, the donations by Harmony will be made to political     
parties on an equitable and proportional basis.                                 
"Harmony represents a wide spectrum of the population through our               
stakeholders i.e. employees, investors and suppliers and we therefore believe   
that it is appropriate to support the democratic process in South Africa. We    
will assist political parties proportionate to their constituent base which     
has been calculated on the basis of their electoral support in the previous     
election," commented Bernard Swanepoel,                                         
Chief Executive.
