Official Kumba Iron Ore HR route

For queries not covered online, the switchboard is +27 12 683 7000 or +27 12 683 7111, and there is a feedback form on the Kumba contact page. The office address is 144 Oxford Road, Rosebank, Melrose, 2196.
What you need before contacting Kumba
For a bursary application, Kumba’s Careers FAQ sets these requirements: you must be a South African citizen with a 13-digit ID, in Grade 12 or tertiary study, studying a mining-related discipline, with at least 55% for Mathematics (not Maths Literacy).
Have these documents ready:
- A copy of your South African ID
- Grade 11 results, if you are in Grade 12
- Your latest or final matric results
- All tertiary transcripts
- Proof of registration
Bursary applications go into a central database that each business unit’s HR Recruitment Team accesses, so feedback can take weeks or months.
Step-by-step contact process
- Search and apply for vacancies on the Anglo American careers portal, filtered to Kumba.
- If you are an existing applicant, sign in on SmartRecruiters to track your applications.
- Check the Careers FAQs for bursary and selection-process questions.
- Forward any suspicious job offer to recruitmentfraud@angloamerican.com. Do not respond to it or pay anything.
- For anything else, call the switchboard on +27 12 683 7000 or +27 12 683 7111, or use the feedback form on the contact page.
Escalation route and recruitment fraud
Kumba does not publish an HR escalation line. Use the switchboard or the feedback form if the careers portal and FAQs do not answer your question.
Recruitment scams use the Anglo American name. Genuine Anglo American recruitment emails use the name.lastname@angloamerican.com format. The company never asks for money or for bank details before a job offer, and it only offers jobs after a formal process that includes face-to-face interviews. Report anything suspicious to recruitmentfraud@angloamerican.com, the group-wide recruitment fraud mailbox.
For other mining companies, browse the mining and resources hub or the mining directory I to L listings.
