Anglo American Valterra Platinum demerger completed
Valterra Platinum's debut on the JSE follows the demerger of Anglo American's interest in the company
The admission of Anglo American's new ordinary shares to the equity shares (commercial companies) listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities took place at 8 am today, 2 June, Monday.
This was along with the listing and commencement of dealings in entitlements to Anglo American's new ordinary shares on the JSE.
The shares of Valterra Platinum will also be admitted to the equity shares (international commercial companies secondary listing) listing segment of the Official List of the Financial Conduct Authority and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities at 8 am, Monday, 2 June.
This listing will be alongside Valterra Platinum's existing primary listing on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
A major step to unlock the inherent value
Duncan Wanblad, Chief Executive of Anglo American, says: 'This is an important moment for both Anglo American and Valterra Platinum.
"For Anglo American, this is a major step in our plan to unlock the inherent value in our portfolio as a whole, with enhanced focus on our world-class positions in copper, premium iron ore and crop nutrients.
"Valterra Platinum has been a major part of the company for many years but now is the right time for it to optimise its value creation prospects on an independent path – it's an outstanding business and team and I have every confidence that Valterra Platinum will thrive as a leader in the global platinum group metals industry.'
Following the demerger Anglo American will continue to hold c.19.9% of Valterra Platinum and intends to retain this shareholding for at least 90 days following the demerger (subject to appropriate exceptions for any sale to maintain, and not exceed, this c.19.9% interest), with this shareholding position to be managed responsibly over time to effect a full separation.

Trump says will 'take a look' at deporting Elon Musk
US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday he could consider deporting Elon Musk, after the South African-born billionaire slammed his flagship spending bill. Trump also said the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) -- which Musk headed before stepping down late May -- may train its sights on the Tesla and SpaceX founder's government subsidies. "I don't know. We'll have to take a look," Trump told reporters at the White House when asked if he would consider deporting Musk. "We might have to put DOGE on Elon. You know what DOGE is? DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon." Trump doubled down on the threat when he said he believed Musk was attacking his so-called "One Big Beautiful Bill" because he was annoyed that it had dropped measures to support electric vehicles (EV). "He's losing his EV mandate. He's very upset about things, but you know, he could lose a lot more than that, I can tell you right now. Elon can lose a lot more than that." Trump made similar comments on his Truth Social network late Monday, saying that "without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa." Musk, the world's richest person, was Trump's biggest donor in the 2024 election and initially maintained a near constant presence at the newly elected president's side. They had an acrimonious public falling out this month over the bill and the tycoon has reprised his criticisms in recent days, accusing Republicans of abandoning efforts to place the United States at the front of the EV and clean energy revolution. Musk has also renewed his calls for the formation of a new political party called the "America Party" if the bill passed.

Economic Development and Trade Committee Chairperson Welcomes Launch of Proudly SA E-commerce Platform to Boost Local Industry
The Chairperson of the Select Committee on Economic Development and Trade, Ms Sonja Boshoff, has welcomed the launch of Proudly SA's new online platform for locally produced consumer goods. Ms Boshoff characterised the platform as a significant step towards reindustrialisation of the South African economy, which will protect local jobs. 'This digital marketplace will serve as a vital conduit for South African businesses – particularly manufacturers and small-scale producers – to reach consumers across the country. In time, the platform is also expected to open international avenues for local exporters, contributing meaningfully to market diversification and economic resilience,' Ms Boshoff said. 'This initiative could not have come at a more important time. South Africa continues to face the triple threat of high unemployment, sluggish economic growth and deindustrialisation. Platforms such as this are essential to reversing the tide. By creating accessible digital channels for local producers, Proudly SA is directly contributing to inclusive economic growth and supporting job retention in vulnerable sectors like manufacturing and agro processing. 'While we commend this important intervention, it must form part of a broader localisation strategy, supported by clear procurement policies, incentives for domestic production and infrastructure support for township and rural enterprises. This is how industrialised nations have built resilient economies, and South Africa must be no different,' Ms Boshoff said. She added that the committee encourages businesses, big and small, to register on the Proudly SA platform and commit to local procurement wherever possible. 'Consumers, too, have a critical role to play in supporting this ecosystem. Buying local is no longer just patriotic; it is an economic imperative.' 'The committee will continue to exercise rigorous oversight over the departments and entities tasked with economic development, ensuring that such platforms receive the institutional backing, marketing exposure, and policy alignment they need to succeed,' added Ms Boshoff. 'South Africa has the capacity to produce its own goods – from furniture to fashion, food to film – and we must prioritise these industries if we are serious about reaching our growth targets and reducing the unemployment rate, which currently sits at an unsustainable 43.1%. It is time to back South African producers, not in words, but in procurement decisions, public policy, and consumer behaviour,' she said.
