Vodacom Group has announced Raisibe Morathi as its new Group Chief Financial Officer (CFO). As one of the most experienced and one of the few African black female CFOs of a listed company in South Africa, Raisibe’s appointment underscores Vodacom’s commitment to driving diversity across the workplace.

Her new position will begin on the 1 Nov 2020 when she will also be appointed to the Vodacom Group Board. Raisibe joins Vodacom from Nedbank Group, where she was the Group Chief Finance Officer since 2009. For most of her tenure at Nedbank, she was the patron of its Women’s Forum, demonstrating her commitment to the development of women and young people.

She was also responsible for leading a team of over 900 people involved in finance and operations and focussed on strategic decision making impacting the Group. Raisibe is a Chartered Accountant (SA) and has also completed an Advanced Management Programme (AMP) with INSEAD (France).

Her other qualifications include a Higher Diploma in Taxation (Wits University), and she is currently a few months away from completing her Masters in Philosophy (Corporate Strategy) at GIBS. “I am delighted to welcome Raisibe to the Vodacom Group, where she will drive and continue to modernise our finance operations as we position ourselves as a leading pan-African technology company.

Given Vodacom Group’s leadership position as a mobile money provider in Africa and our accelerated growth ambitions beyond traditional Telco services, Raisibe’s extensive financial services experience makes her an excellent addition to the Vodacom Group Board and Executive Committee (Exco),” said Shameel Joosub, CEO of Vodacom Group.

“I’m excited to be joining the Vodacom Group Board and Exco at a time when it has simplified its structure to drive increased focus across all of its international territories. I look forward to leading a high-performing Finance team, driving the function’s strategic digital transformation and contributing to the future success of the Group,” explained Raisibe.

Raisibe succeeds Till Streichert following his departure in June 2020 and the interim appointment of Sitho Mdlalose as Group CFO.
