A2X highlights visionary CFOs with CFO South Africa

As FD of Harmony Gold, Boipelo Lekubo believes finance is about far more than delivering numbers. From investing in people and balancing growth with shareholder returns to navigating ESG, AI and one of the world's most capital-intensive industries, she explains why today's finance leaders must create value that extends well beyond the balance sheet.

Away from billion-rand balance sheets and boardroom strategy, Old Mutual CFO Casper Troskie finds perspective at his home on a farm in Paarl, in the kitchen and on mountain bike trails. Those moments of calm, he says, have become essential to leading through an increasingly unpredictable world.

CFO Zaf Mahomed reveals why balance sheet management and cash flow are the only tools you need to make your organisation’s profits grow. He uses his recent experience at Oceana Group as an example.

Passionate about the opportunity technology can bring, 2023 Finance & Technology Award winner Jan Hofmeyr has been breaking the CFO mould at OUTsurance by driving the transformation of its finance department so it remains relevant in an increasingly digital future. He reveals how this change has affected the entire business.

Bruce Bydawell has spent the last five years as the CFO of AlexForbes, implementing a new strategy for the company and transforming its finance function.

Pieter de Wit explains how businesses can unlock the potential South Africa holds, and explains how they’ve been doing it at Afrimat, where he is the CFO.
