BOARD GENDER DIVERSITY

The AfroCentric Board believes that a board made up of highly qualified directors from diverse backgrounds, reflective of the changing demographics of the economy, practices better governance. The diversity criteria include gender, age, ethnicity and geographic background in addition to meeting the Board’s requirements for skills and qualifications. At AfroCentric, 54% of the Directors are from previously disadvantaged groups and 23% are women. AfroCentric recognises that a diverse board is able to make decisions more effectively by reducing the risk of “groupthink”, paying more attention to managing and controlling risks, and having a better understanding of the Group’s clients. We are planning to respond positively to the Gender Policy as per the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”) requirement in becoming biased towards the appointment of female directors to address gender imbalances.
