Adrian Gore, the founder and chief executive of Discovery Limited, has joined the board of Business Leadership South Africa as the organisation concludes a three-year board cycle and installs new directors.
BLSA is the independent association that brings together leaders of South Africa's most prominent companies to engage with government, civil society and organised labour on issues affecting the business environment and the broader national interest. Its membership roster includes the chief executives of Capitec, Discovery, FirstRand, Multichoice and MTN, among others.
The board changeover marks the end of a term that included Nonkululeko Nyembezi as group chair, Leila Fourie who served as JSE chief executive, Neal Froneman of Sibanye-Stillwater, Shirley Mashaba of PWC South Africa and Lungisa Fuzile. BLSA said its outgoing board was concluding its tenure at a moment it described as the beginning of South Africa's economic turn, with a more stable and predictable operating environment emerging from years of instability.
