ANGLO AMERICAN PLATINUM hosted its 16th annual PlatAfrica awards event at a gala dinner in partnership with the Metal Contractors.
The annual PlatAfrica competition has become synonymous with excellence in platinum jewellery design and manufacture, and is one of Anglo American Platinum’s key beneficiation activities in the area of investing in developing markets for platinum group metals.
