Dion SHANGO
Africa CEO, PwC
I was appointed as Africa CEO of PwC on 1 July 2019. Prior to this I served a fouryear term as the firm’s Southern Africa CEO, the first black African to be appointed to the role.
Since being admitted to partnership in 2008, I have led engagements on complex
and multinational businesses and have serviced a number of large listed clients
mostly within the mining industry. I have extensive experience reporting under IFRS
and of financial reporting in the mining industry. I am the former leader of PwC’s
Energy, Utilities and Mining (EU&M) Group.
In addition to my experience in the mining industry, I have also enjoyed exposure to
other sectors and industries throughout my career, by virtue of being involved in the
audits of companies and organisations such as the South African Reserve Bank,
Vodacom and MonteCasino.
In recent years, my client base has included Exxaro Resources Limited, Harmony
Gold Mining Company Limited, Royal Bafokeng Platinum and Sasol Oil, among
others.
