RAPAPORT... Anglo American, which owns 85 percent of De Beers, has
announced that chairman Sir John Parker will step down this year.
Parker (pictured), who has been chairman for eight years, will continue
in the role until the company concludes its search for a replacement, the miner
said this week. Leading the process will be senior independent director Sir
Philip Hampton.
“Having seen Anglo American emerge in a strong position from
the mining industry downturn, with its sharp falls in commodity prices between
2014 and 2016, I believe that the time is now right for the board to seek my
successor during the course of 2017,” Parker said.
