Noluthando Mthonti-Mlambo speaks to just share Executive Director, Tracey Davies  about their briefing assessing gender equality at board and executive level in the JSE Top 40. Although women make up 46% of South Africa’s economically active population, and despite a significant increase over the last 20 years in representation of women in the lower-to-middle occupational levels, only 35% of board seats and 25% of executive level positions at the Top 40 companies are held by women.
