Mr Sowazi served as Co-Chairman at the time of the merger of Kagiso Trust Investments and Tiso Investment Holdings in 2011. He has been Chairman of KTH since 2014. He steps down as Chairman in order to focus on his business interests. He will continue to serve as a Non-Executive Director of KTH.

Rev Chikane served on the KTH Board since November 2019. He has significant business experience having served on various boards in different capacities.

Rev Chikane said: “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Mr Sowazi for his strong leadership and the contribution he has made as Chairman. I am very proud to have been asked to succeed Mr Sowazi and I look forward to working with the Board and the KTH leadership team to support the company’s continued growth aspirations.”
