I did not bring them to Lonmin, I found them here – such is the impact of Anglo American.

Lonmin plc, formerly the mining division of Lonrho plc, is a British producer of platinum group metals operating in the Bushveld Complex of South Africa.
Lonmin rose to international attention following the Marikana miners' strike in August, 2012, in which over 100 striking Lonmin employees were shot (36 killed, 78 wounded) by South African Police Service officers. [At the time, Cyril (Ramaphosa) was a non-executive director of Lonmin. His company Shanduka was a minority shareholder in Lonmin, so this meant their profits were very much part of his business too. https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/marikana-what-did-cyril-ramaphosa-do/]

From the moment of the unbanning of the ANC, the whole organization was enveloped by the Anglo [American] complex. Between February 1990, and the elections of April 1994, Anglo poured the sum of R364 million rand ($180 million) into the coffers of the ANC.
At the same time, Tiny Rowland of the British multinational Lonrho was also funding the ANC. Lonrho is within the Rothschild orbit, and is a business partner of Anglo, with extensive interests in South Africa, covering gold, coal and platinum. The ANC was given $20 million by Lonrho to move their offices from Lusaka, Zambia to Johannesburg to consolidate their internal support. The idea was to set up a political machinery in South Africa, and that costs a lot of money.

Glencore inherited this stake when it acquired another resources firm, Xstrata plc, in May 2013. The divestment in Lonmin will be implemented by way of a distribution in specie to Glencore shareholders.

Although Xstrata’s website talks about the company’s ‘small beginnings a decade ago’, the diversified mining giant was founded as an infrastructure and electrics company called Südelektra in Switzerland in 1926. In 1990 the company’s business changed dramatically when the man who started Glencore – namely [Marc] Rich – acquired the majority of the company’s shares, focused the business on mining and got rid of non-core interests.
