What Business wants from SA's new coalitions & Are shareholders losing control of CEO pay?

 

Stephen Grootes speaks to Busisiwe Mavuso, CEO of Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA), about the business community's response to last week's municipal elections and what political parties should prioritise as coalition negotiations get underway. With several major metros facing another period of coalition governance, business is calling for stable leadership, functioning municipalities and reliable service delivery.

In other interviews, Nicole Martens, Executive Director at Just Share talks about executive remuneration in corporate South Africa and the growing debate over whether CEOs are being paid too much. The issue has come under renewed scrutiny after Shoprite shareholders challenged a special share incentive potentially worth more than R176 million for CEO Pieter Engelbrecht. With executive pay packages reaching hundreds of millions of rand, questions are mounting over how these rewards are determined and how much influence ordinary shareholders really have over boardroom pay decisions.
