Corporate Governance appreciation in Africa is growing stronger and stronger. This is evident by the huge number of participants who came from Southern, Eastern, Western and Central parts of Africa to attend the 45th edition of the African Corporate Governance Conference and Workshop at the Southern Sun Hotel in Cape Town, South Africa, from Tuesday 17th March, 2026.
Among the participants were Board Members, CEOs, Company Secretaries from the private and public sectors ( including SoEs or State Owned Enterprises, sometimes referred to as Parastatals ).
Non Governmental Organisations ( NGOs ), Representatives of Universities, different educational institutions and just individual business entrepreneurs were all there.
During the Conference, I was privileged to be Conference Chairperson coordinating the international Speakers, who gave interactive presentations on a variety of topics that are current and topical in Corporate Governance.
Prof. Mayvin King, the international Corporate Governance guru was one of the Speakers at the Conference.
Because of the huge number of participants, the official Group Photos were taken country by country. In each picture below, I am seated in the centre and Prof. King is on my right.
On Friday, 20th March 2026, I was Facilitator for the Workshop on a topic very relevant to the discussions which had taken place in the Conference. Pictures were taken of each Workshop Group and I am in the middle of such picture.
Clearly the 45th African Corporate Governance Conference and Workshop provided a great opportunity to all participants to network during the gathering and thereafter.
