The first edition of the 2025 CHRO South Africa magazine launches with a spotlight on HR leaders and how they are continuously leading with purpose and change.
Gracing the cover is Palesa Matoli, the 2024 Young CHRO of the Year and executive head of human capital and transformation at Bidvest Bank. Her feature touches on how she’s crafting a culture rooted in empowerment and inclusion.
Meanwhile, over at Tiger Brands, there’s a different kind of roar echoing through the corridors, as CPO, S’ne Magagula, 2024 CHRO of the Year, shares how she is leading the charge in reviving one of Africa’s most iconic consumer brands.
Other standout features include Duke Mgaga, CPO at Parliament, who is championing a cultural shift within one of the country’s most complex institutions, and Pindi Gida, chief of human capital and corporate services shares how she is also driving change in the public sector at Salga.
We also hear from Peter Champion, HR executive at Cashbuild, who has spent years building a people pipeline from the ground up, while Heidi Kornmuller, head of talent at Coronation, tirelessly pushes for equity and inclusion in the finance world.
In addition to these powerful HR voices, the magazine also explores the evolving relationship between CHROs and their executive assistants as AI reshapes their administrative and strategic roles.
This edition also captures appointments and promotions in the industry, as well as a round-up of events that include CHRO summits, networking dinners and the glamorous 2024 CHRO Awards.
