Leading Beyond The Glass Ceiling: Women Shaping Leadership in a Technology-driven Future 🌐
✍️ By Thulani Dube, Head of Innovation & Advancement, Cornerstone Institute

The rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence, automation, data driven decision-making and digital platforms is fundamentally changing the nature of leadership. Technology is no longer confined to specialist departments. It is reshaping strategy, operating models, customer experiences, workforce structures and the very definition of organisational competitiveness. Within this transformation lies an important leadership question of who gets to shape the future as well as whose perspectives will be represented when that future is designed.

Women are increasingly occupying influential positions across technology, business, academia, government and entrepreneurship. Yet their progress continues to occur against structural challenges that have historically limited access to leadership. This is particularly prevalent within STEM and technology intensive sectors. The contemporary leadership environment is therefore characterised by a paradox in which women are making measurable advances in skills, leadership and technological participation, while significant barriers remain in the pathway to the highest levels of influence.

Fundi Tshazibana: Driving Resilience in South Africa's Financial System 🇿🇦🤝

Maintaining confidence in South Africa's banking and insurance sectors is critical to supporting economic growth, protecting consumers and ensuring financial stability. Helping to steer that effort is Fundi Tshazibana, Deputy Governor of the SA Reserve Bank (SARB) and Chief Executive Officer of the Prudential Authority, whose leadership continues to shape one of the country's most important regulatory institutions.

Speaking at the Prudential Authority's annual media briefing, Ms Tshazibana reaffirmed the strength of South Africa's financial system despite a volatile international environment. While acknowledging that geopolitical tensions, policy uncertainty and higher energy prices continue to pose risks to the global economy, she said South African banks and insurers remain well-capitalised, financially sound and resilient.

Yanga Mputa: Strengthening Fairness and Accountability in Tax Administration 🇿🇦

For many South Africans, engaging with the tax system can be a daunting experience. Whether resolving an administrative error, disputing a delayed refund or seeking clarity on a complex assessment, taxpayers expect a system that is fair, transparent and accountable. Helping to safeguard those principles is the Office of the Tax Ombud, an independent complaints-resolution office established under the Tax Administration Act to review service, procedural and administrative complaints against SARS.

Leading the Office of the Tax Ombud is Yanga Mputa, South Africa's first female Tax Ombud. Appointed in July 2023, she brings more than two decades of experience in tax law, policy and administration to a role that sits at the intersection of public accountability and taxpayer rights. Her appointment as the first woman to lead the Office marked an important milestone in the institution's history.

Women Leading The Way - HDA’s New and First Chief Investment Office Opens The Door to Transformative Partnerships 👏

The Housing Development Agency (HDA) celebrates not only the contribution of women in leadership but also the transformative role they continue to play in shaping the nation's development future. A powerful example is the appointment of Ms Vinolia Mashiane as the HDA's Chief Investment Officer (CIO), a milestone that signals a new era of innovation, investment readiness, and strategic public-private collaboration in the human settlements sector. Appointed in May 2025, Ms Mashiane leads HDA’s newly established Chief Investment Office, a strategic function dedicated to unlocking investment opportunities that support sustainable human settlements, infrastructure development, and urban regeneration. Her appointment comes at a pivotal moment as South Africa seeks innovative financing models to address housing demand, unlock economic growth, and accelerate spatial transformation.

With over 20 years of experience spanning both the public and private sectors, Ms Mashiane brings a rare combination of expertise in corporate finance, property development, investment management, and public-private partnership (PPP) structuring 🤝.

Welcome to the August edition of Public Sector Leaders!
📌 Brought to you by Topco Media!

In keeping with Women’s Month, our Woman in Leadership is Yanga Mputa, South Africa’s first female tax ombudsman, while our Trailblazer is Nomfundo (Fundi) Tshazibana, Deputy Governor, South African Reserve Bank, and Chief Executive Officer, Prudential Authority, driving resilience in South Africa’s financial system. We also bring you a snapshot of women in government, Ministers and Deputies, alongside suggestions for celebrating Women’s Month.

South Africa assumed the mantle of SADC Chair this month and hosted the 46th Summit in eThekwini. In his letter to the nation on 20 April, President Cyril Ramaphosa highlighted SADC’s importance to the region, including jobs, industry, infrastructure, health and quality of life. This edition also covers the 9th SADC Industrialisation Week (SIW) and Exhibition, bringing together senior government officials, policymakers, business leaders, industry experts, development partners, the SADC Business Council and Business Unity South Africa (BUSA). Convened under the theme, “Resilient, Sustainable and Inclusive Industrialisation through Infrastructure Development, Agricultural and Critical Minerals Transformation in Pursuit of a Just World,” the event provided a strategic platform for engagement, collaboration and partnerships.

In Other News, President Ramaphosa released the National Water Action Plan, outlining interventions to address immediate water supply failures while laying foundations for long-term water security. We also cover the 2026 Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation Winter Seminar, where leaders from government, business, academia and civil society explored “The Continent and Migration”, highlighting dialogue as a tool for strengthening democracy, understanding and social cohesion. We take a deep dive into the second International Special Economic Zone Infrastructure and Investment Conference, which brought together over 1 000 delegates, including investors, SEZ operators, businesses, SEZ experts, universities, think tanks, financial institutions, local communities, trade partners and government officials. Finally, our regular Financial Fitness feature asks: “Can you afford to retire?”

🌐 Technology For Good - Interview With Videsha Proothveerajh, Director at Vodacom & Chief Officer of Vodacom Business

Vodacom Business provides a comprehensive suite of connectivity services, tools, products, and solutions designed for small, medium, and large enterprises, which also encompasses government. But what differentiates the organisation is that they don't see themselves as a vendor and you as a customer. They see themselves as integrated partners committed to helping your business succeed. We spoke to Videsha to find out more about integration, service delivery, business transformation and meaningful impact.

“What truly sets us apart is our commitment to integration. Rather than leaving you to manage multiple disconnected vendors, we can deliver connectivity, cloud services, cybersecurity, IoT solutions, and emerging capabilities like data analytics and artificial intelligence working together seamlessly through a single trusted partnership. This unified approach means you gain one integrated platform rather than fragmented systems.”
