In the lean years, the years of dwindling profits and depreciating assets, a wit on the Stock Exchange christened Gold Fields’ three producing mines on the Rand ‘Faith, Hope and Charity’. These were titles that appealed to Johannesburg’s sense of humour and the stockbroker’s joke travelled from one end of the Witwatersrand to the other. It has lasted to our day — as have the three mines, the grand ‘old-stagers’ of gold mining.
