What is going to be left in South Africa then? They (Anglo) have a large building that is staffed with high quality personnel that support a world wide operation. The companies that are "spinned off" will still largely keep these operating personnel. Maybe a few will need the support personnel from the Anglo "head office". What happens to the rest? Assets sold to offshore companies in Australia will simply put Australians in. Where does this leave the South African staff? Is Anglo planning to physically just leave South Africa? One has an uneasy feeling that this re-jigging is negative for South Africa; just when the optimism is coming back, albeit hesitantly. Sad.
