18 February 2008

RMB Holdings Limited (“RMBH”) today announced that Sonja Sebotsa is joining its Board as an Independent Non-executive Director.

Ms Sebotsa (36) is a principal partner in Identity Partners, a recently formed investment company which seeks to promote the participation of women in the economy through making equity investments, facilitating finance for SME's by the Identity Development Fund, and by generally supporting transformation efforts of companies.

She holds an LLB (Hons) from the London School of Economics as well as an MA from McGill University and is a SFA (UK). Until recently Sonja was an executive director of WDB Investment Holdings where she led the structuring of WDB’s participation in the FirstRand BEE transaction. As a result, she served as WBD’s representative on the FirstRand Board for the past 2,5 years. Her other directorships include Discovery Holdings and Anglo Platinum.

GT Ferreira, chairman of RMBH commented “ We regard it as a coup that Sonja accepted our invitation to join the RMBH Board. While she served on the FirstRand directorate we came to respect her input and viewpoints. We believe that she can make a valuable contribution to the level of debate and decision making at RMBH.”
