Anglo American is the world's second-biggest mining company, based in South Africa. It is currently facing a lawsuit by former employees who say they were enslaved, beaten and tortured under apartheid.

It owns a 53% stake in the world's largest gold-mining company, AngloGold Ltd., as well as 32% of De Beers, the largest diamond mining company.

"Anglo American plc was formed in May 1999 through the combination of Anglo American Corporation of South Africa (AACSA) and Minorco. It has its primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and is majority owned by UK institutions." [1]
