UNDICTATED: Meet FirstRand’s new CEO, the quiet iconoclast Mary Vilakazi

[@user-xk8fi5fv6x]

As Mary’s former Mathematics teacher and school head, this is a fantastic achievement and one for which staff and fellow pupils of St Enda’s are incredibly proud of. It was obvious to me, going back many many years, that Mary had a very successful career ahead of her if given the opportunity.

Lovely lady, very authentic, unpretentious and candid. So wish we had more people like her in leadership in business and government. Firstrand ecosystem sounds like good teamwork and growth environment.

First black woman to have the position, rather an American way of looking at things, don't you think? How about this person being the right person for the job, never mind race or gender. "Black cat or white cat, if it can catch mice, it's a good cat."

In a country where black women were perpetual minors until recently, this is the correct way of looking at it.
