anglogoldashantiANA reports that the Young Communist League (YCL) in the North West province has come out very strongly against AngloGold Ashanti's (AGA’s) chairperson, Sipho Pityana, over the impending loss of thousands of jobs, saying that the leader of ‘Save SA’ had failed to save jobs at the gold producer.  

"The self-proclaimed messiah who wants to Save SA but failing to save job losses in AngloGold Sipho Pityana must be confronted with a reality that he failed in his duties as the chairperson of AngloGold Ashanti board and ensure that there are no job losses occurring under his watch," the YCL said in statement.  AGA announced last week that it had started a consultation process with employees to retrench 8,500 workers at its South African operations.
