Chatter is assuming that the GM will be packing his bags December and departing our shores...
Interviews have been held for locals to take his spot..... I did not apply this year, as the breadslicer at SPar was not working....
Anglo American now own DeBeers, so I was wondering how long it would be, before Anglo put's it's own man (woman, sorry Cynthia) , who will be a real foreigner..... but then I reckon Anglo has more clout with work permits than DeBeers had......
Just my 2 cents....
Is "NAMDEB" going to be renamed "NAMGLO" I think its got a nice ring to it "punt"
woo_hoo
DeBeers still stays..... half Namibian Gov, the other half DeBeers, only difference is that Anglo will now own DeBeers and not half of it with the Oppenheimer Family......
I still recon "NAMGLO" sounds better
Sounds like a luminous paint manufacturing company.....

Wasn't the Oppenheimer family the founders of Anglo American??
Think I read it somewhere... Toilet-Reading
Yes, according to Nicky's letter his grandfather Sir Ernest was a co founder of Anglo too.
@Mike, I think he leaves us in Feb next year...
Only the Oppenheimers share was sold to Anglo (according to the briefs we recieve), exact % of shareholding unknown...
How can you say the next boss will be a foreigner... didn't you know that the MUN want Tony to be the next GM... remember southern Africa is a democracy and you can decide who you want to manage your employer company.
The Oppenheimers sold their 40% stake in De Beers representing a decent $5b.
