Froneman, who serves as Sibanye’s CEO, holds a 0.12-percent stake in the Johannesburg-based mining giant, amounting to 3,284,428 shares.

Sibanye receives a significant boost with a nearly $500-million investment from the South African government's wholly-owned asset management firm.
The results mark a stark contrast to the same period in 2023, when Sibanye posted a profit of R7.8 billion ($427 million).
