JOHANNESBURG,
Aug. 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Shareholders are
advised that Ms Kogi Naicker has
been appointed as the interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of
Atlatsa Resources (Atlatsa or the Company) with effect from
1 August 2013. This follows Mr De Wet
Schutte's departure whose fixed term contract with the Company came
to an end on 1 August 2013 after four
years of service.
Mr Schutte's contract had previously been
extended in order to assist in the implementation of the Company's
restructure plan announced 27 March
2013. Given that the restructure plan is near completion,
the Board and Mr Schutte have agreed not to further extend his
contract, but he will remain as a special advisor to Atlatsa
pending finalisation of the restructure plan.
Joel Kesler,
Chief Commercial Officer, comments: "De Wet formed an important
part of our commercial team over the past four years. He was
integral to the design, development and implementation of our
restructure plan which has set the platform for our Company to
achieve its exciting new growth strategy through to 2020. We thank
De Wet for his invaluable service to Atlatsa and wish him the best
of success in his future endeavours."
The Company will effect a permanent appointment
to the CFO position in due course and will make a further
announcement as soon as this appointment has been finalised.
Ms Naicker is a chartered accountant (SA) and
has held the position of senior financial controller at Atlatsa
since 2009. She has extensive experience in the areas of group
financial management and reporting, having held previous positions
both in South Africa and
the United States of America at
Ernst & Young (SA & USA),
Proctor & Gamble (SA) and Transnet Rail (SA) prior to joining
the Company. The Board welcomes Ms Naicker's appointment.
