Board gender diversity

To ensure that AfroCentric’s Board reflects South Africa’s demographics and that it practices better governance, we employ highly qualified directors from diverse backgrounds. The diversity criteria include gender, age, ethnicity and geographic background, in addition to meeting the Board’s requirements for skills and qualifications. AfroCentric recognises that a diverse board makes better decisions by reducing ‘groupthink’, paying more attention to managing and controlling risks, and having a better understanding of the Group’s clients. There is an approved gender policy which outlines the Board’s position on gender diversity in line with the requirements of King IV.

Our Gender Diversity Policy can be viewed on our website:
