Mr Bronn purchased 117 000 shares on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange three days before the company announced that it had been awarded mining rights for the Makhado project, which is its most advanced asset.
Mr Brönn will forfeit all share based incentive awards and shall not be entitled to receive any bonus payments for the year ending June 2017.
