Anglo American PLC (AAL.LN) said Friday that Norman Mbazima has been appointed nonexecutive chairman of its majority-owned Anglo American Platinum Ltd. (AMS.JO) subsidiary, known as Amplats.

The diversified mining company said Mr. Mbazima is set to retire as deputy chairman of Anglo American's South Africa business on June 30.

Anglo American CEO Mark Cutifani hailed Mr. Mbazima's "exceptional contribution" of 18 years of service at Anglo American, during which time he served as the chief executive of the company's Kumba iron ore operation and South Africa coal business.
