Petra Diamonds is currently in the process of recruiting a new chief financial officer (CFO) to replace Jacques Breytenbach, who has resigned due to personal reasons.
He will also resign from his director position, which he has held since February 2018.
Petra said Breytenbach will, however, continue in his position until the company's full-year results are delivered at the end of September to facilitate a seamless transition of his duties.
If a new CFO is appointed before this, Breytenbach will step down earlier.
Petra chief executive Richard Duffy expressed high regard for Breytenbach, highlighting his significant contributions since joining the company in 2006 and becoming CFO in 2016.
