MEDIA RELEASE
GOLD FIELDS’ OPENS NEW HOUSING COMPLEX
Johannesburg, 1 October 2010: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields) (JSE,
NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) today opened a new employee housing
project in the Glenharvie community near its Kloof Gold Mine as part of its
R550-million, five year housing programme. The new Grootkloof complex,
representing an investment of R25-million, will offer housing
accommodation to approximately 100 Kloof employees and their families.
The complex is an integral part of Gold Fields’ continuing programme to
renovate housing, construct new family homes and upgrade and de-
densify our high-density accommodation. Significant progress has been
made in this regard: at present room density in the hostels is just over two
per room, from eight per room in 2006. Around 21,000 employees are
accommodated by Gold Fields in high-density accommodation.
The Employee Housing Programme is part of Gold Fields’ total wellbeing
programme called “24 Hours in the Life of a Gold Fields Employee in the
South African Region”. This programme is designed to improve every
facet of the health and well-being of employees, and addresses the key
issues of safe production, healthcare, nutrition, accommodation, sport and
recreation as well as education and training.
Gold Fields Chief Executive Officer, Nick Holland, said: “The well-being of
our employees is one of the company’s highest priorities and good
accommodation is a fundamental requirement for total well-being and
quality of life. These family homes are a key component of our wide-
ranging employee housing programme, which also includes the renovation
of houses and the upgrading of single accommodation villages into
modern, high quality living units.”
