Reasoning

The ownership structure and the 69.71% effective holding are stated in Kumba's primary financial filing (Tier A) and the group relationship is corroborated by Anglo American's own RNS notice (Tier B).

A claim review answers one narrow factual question from the cited sources. It is not a verdict on the company.
