Kumba pledges third of top pay, provides services to communities

Iron-ore mining company Kumba has provided a wide range of essential services in its host communities, while also responding directly with additional support to help alleviate the health and economic effects of Covic-19, the company said on Monday. Beyond the company’s breadth of support initiatives and following the lead of President Cyril Ramaphosa and his Cabinet, the Kumba board had resolved to donate the equivalent of a third of their personal directors’ fees or salaries for the next quarter towards Covid-19 relief initiatives, while the executive team had selected to contribute to the employee matching scheme supported by the Anglo American Foundation.
