Posted Thu, 08 May 2008

Transnet group Chief Executive Maria Ramos has been appointed an independent non-executive director of SABMiller, the company said on Wednesday.

She was appointed alongside 65-year old Rob Pieterse, who is currently chairperson of printing, publishing and communication group Mercurius Groep B.V and Royal Grolsch N.V.

"These appointments enhance the independence and balance of the board whilst continuing the process of progressive renewal," said SABMiller chairperson Meyer Kahn.

Forty-nine year old Ramos previously held the position of director-general of the SA National Treasury and is a member of the World Bank's chief economist advisory council.

The appointments will become effective on 15 May.
