          This Amendment No. 2 ("Amendment No. 2") amends and supplements the
Statement on Schedule 13D, originally filed on November 21, 2003 (as amended by
Amendment No. 1, the "Schedule 13D"), and amended and supplemented on February
25, 2004 by Amendment No. 1 ("Amendment No. 1"). Unless otherwise defined in
this Amendment No. 2, the capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

          Since the date of Amendment No. 1, the Reporting Persons have acquired
beneficial ownership of 3,019,591 Ordinary Shares through open market purchases.

Item 1.  Security and Issuer

          The response set forth in Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
by deleting the response in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

          "The Schedule 13D and this Amendment No. 2 relate to the ordinary
shares, par value ZAR 0.25 per share (the "Ordinary Shares"), of AngloGold
Ashanti Limited (formerly AngloGold Limited), a corporation organized under the
laws of the Republic of South Africa (the "Issuer").  AngloGold Limited changed
its name to AngloGold Ashanti Limited effective April 26, 2004.  The principal
executive offices of the Issuer are located at 11 Diagonal Street,
Johannesburg, 2001 South Africa."

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

          The response set forth in Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
by adding the following at the end thereof:

          "The aggregate consideration paid for the Ordinary Shares the
acquisition of which is reported pursuant to Amendment No. 2 is ZAR 773,422,847.
The funds for the purchases have been supplied by a subsidiary of Anglo
American."

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

          The response set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
by deleting the second paragraph thereof and replacing it with the following:

          "As a result of the business combination transaction between the
Issuer and Ashanti Goldfields Company Limited that became effective on April 26,
2004 (the "Ashanti Transaction"), the percentage ownership interest of the
Reporting Persons in the Ordinary Shares was reduced to less than a majority.
The Ordinary Shares the acquisition of which is reported pursuant to this
Amendment No. 2 were acquired as part of the purchases intended to increase the
Reporting Persons' percentage ownership interest in the Ordinary Shares to at
least a majority after giving effect to the Ashanti Transaction. The Reporting
Persons intend to acquire from time to time additional Ordinary Shares from the
Issuer, through open market purchases or privately negotiated transactions as
may be necessary to enable them to have at least a majority ownership interest
in the Ordinary Shares after giving effect to the Ashanti Transaction."

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          The response set forth in Item 5(a) of the Schedule 13D is hereby
amended by:

(i) deleting the first paragraph thereof and replacing it with the following:

          "The responses of the Reporting Persons to Rows (11) through (13) of
the cover pages of this Amendment No. 2 are incorporated herein by reference.
The Reporting Persons are the sole beneficial owners of 126,271,056 Ordinary
Shares representing 47.81% of the Ordinary Shares outstanding as of April 26,
2004 (the "Outstanding Shares")."



                               Page 4 of 10 Pages







(ii) deleting the last sentence of the third paragraph thereof.

(iii) deleting the fifth paragraph thereof.

          The response set forth in Item 5(c) of the Schedule 13D is hereby
amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

          "Attached hereto as Exhibit F is a description of the aggregate daily
transactions effected by or on behalf of the Reporting Persons since March 11,
2004 until the date of this Amendment No. 2.

          Except as disclosed in this Amendment No. 2, none of the Reporting
Persons or the Holding Companies nor, to the best of their knowledge, any of the
persons listed on Exhibit A has effected any transaction in the Ordinary Shares
during the past 60 days."

Item 7. Materials to be Filed as Exhibits.

          The response set forth in Item 7 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended
by:

(i) deleting in its entirety Exhibit A and replacing it with an amended Exhibit
A attached to this Amendment No. 2:

Exhibit A       Directors and Executive Officers of Anglo American and Anglo SA
                Capital
