Dear Sirs
1.
We have acted as South African counsel to AngloGold Ashanti Limited, a company
organized under the laws of South Africa ("Company"), in connection with the filing by the
Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission of a shelf registration statement on
Form F-3 and the prospectus contained therein (“Registration Statement”), covering the
registration by the Company of its ordinary shares, and sale by the Company of an
aggregate of 7,624,162 of its ordinary shares (“Ordinary Shares”).
2.
In connection with the opinions expressed below, we have examined:
2.1
a signed copy of the Registration Statement;
2.2
the preliminary prospectus supplement relating to the Ordinary Shares;
2.3
the final prospectus supplement relating to the Ordinary Shares;
2.4
the memorandum and articles of association of the Company; and

originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such other
documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions
hereinafter expressed.
3.
In such examination, we have assumed the legal capacity of all individuals, the genuineness
of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the
conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies.
4.
Based upon the foregoing, and having regard for such legal considerations as we deem
relevant, we are of the opinion that the Ordinary Shares to which the preliminary and final
prospectus supplements relate have been duly authorised, validly issued and fully paid and
are non-assessable.
5.
We hereby consent to the incorporation by reference of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to the use of our name therein. In giving this consent, we do not
hereby concede that we are within the category of persons whose consent is required under
Section 7 of the Securities Act, 1933 or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.
We are lawyers admitted to practice in South Africa and we are not admitted in, do not hold
ourselves out as being experts on, and do not express any opinion on the law of any
jurisdiction other than the laws of South Africa.
Yours faithfully
