South African operator Vodacom has appointed lead independent director Khumo Shuenyane as its next chairman, succeeding Saki Macozoma when he retires in July 2027.
Shuenyane will take over as chairman on July 21, 2027, after Macozoma completes a 10-year tenure on the company's board. Vodacom has a self-imposed 10-year tenure limit for board members.
Macozoma has served as Vodacom chairman since 2017, with his retirement marking the end of the maximum board tenure.
Meanwhile, Phuthi Mahanyele-Dabengwa, South Africa CEO of technology investor Naspers, will retire from Vodacom's board on October 8, 2026.
Former Airtel Africa CEO Segun Ogunsanya will join the board as an independent non-executive director from October 9.
Vodacom said the appointments form part of its board succession planning. Reuters reported the changes.
