Sipho Kabane

I am a Medical Doctor who also has formal qualifications in Business, Economics and Health Systems. I am also a trained practitioner in Corporate Governance, a Business Coach and a Medical Mediator. My interest in seeking to serve as an independent Non-executive Director is based on my belief that I can make a critical contribution in ensuring that there is good governance and good planned outcomes. My personal profile as an African male with diverse skills-set and qualifications will contribute to the required diversity of any Board. The experience, skills, aptitude and competencies acquired over time will ensure that I make meaningful contributions to the oversight role that the Board is mandated with.

Professional leader with extensive experience in governance, policy development, and community engagement. Demonstrates strong focus on team collaboration and achieving impactful results.
