NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS RETIRE FROM THE BOARD                                   
Harmony today announced that both Mike Pleming and Dr Morley Nkosi have retired 
from its Board as non-executive directors, effective 30 June 2005, on reaching

Mike joined the Harmony Board on 1 September 1998.  In his 7-year tenure on the 
Harmony Board, Mike has served as chairman of the Audit Committee, was a member 
of the Investment Committee, the Remuneration Committee and the Sustainable     
Development Committee.  He also served as chairman on the Sustainable           
Development Committee until July 2004.                                          
Morley joined the Harmony Board with the Avmin transaction in July 2004 and has,
since his appointment, served as chairman of the Sustainable Development        
Committee.  Morley has made a valuable contribution in the past year in ensuring
that all the elements of sustainable development were adequately addressed in   
all the company"s activities.                                                   
"Mike"s contribution has been enormously valuable over the years and he will be 
missed as will Morley"s commitment to the triple bottom line, which served as an
inspiration to both management and the Board.  We wish them and their wives a   
blessed retirement" Bernard Swanepoel said.
