There’s nothing conventional about Makhiba Mollo. Her experience of providing strategic counsel on Responsible Investing to a number of key institutional bodies and multinational companies in South Africa, defines her as a credible pioneer for responsible innovation, shareholder activism and justice in strategic decisions.

Her 17+ year journey of cultivating solutions in the field of Sustainability and Corporate Governance (ESG) at Africa’s leading stock exchange, including the Public Investment Corporation - Africa's largest asset manager, have validated her recent appointment into South Africa’s National Planning Commission - an independent advisory body to the Presidency, comprising experts from the private sector, academia and other stakeholders focusing on SA’s medium- and longer-term requirements as defined in the National Development Plan.

Over and above her rich insights, influence, and capabilities in international and local governance sustainability frameworks, Makhiba is known and respected for building a case for leadership excellence in the ESG value proposition of the future by advocating for inclusivity in policy.

One of her most memorable experiences was hosting a topical seminar on Marikana, a widely covered mining tragedy in South Africa in 2012. In 2016, she was part of the JSE's first Ringing a Bell for Gender Equity event.

Makhiba has made public presentations on both work related and personal matters pertaining to being a successful and effective professional with a disability. She is also a respected columnist and thought contributor.
