Vox | CEO
I’ve spent over two decades in South African telecoms, and I’m more convinced than ever: connectivity isn’t a luxury — it’s infrastructure as fundamental as roads and electricity.
As CEO of Vox, I lead one of South Africa’s largest black-owned telecommunications companies. We provide voice, data, cloud, and collaboration services across southern Africa — but what drives me is something bigger. It’s about closing the gap between connected and unconnected South Africa.
I started at Plessey Cellular in sales, joined Orion Telecom in 1999, became MD in 2008, and was appointed CEO of Vox in 2013. Along the way, I led the consolidation of six business units into one unified Vox Telecom. That merger wasn’t just operational — it was a statement: one company, one mission, one standard of excellence.
Today, Vox operates with over 2,100 employees, and +R3bn in annual revenue. We integrate with on over 16 Fixed Network Operators and operate our own IP and Voice networks. And we’re just getting started.
I believe in open-access fibre. I believe 5G won’t kill fibre — it will complement it. And I believe the next decade belongs to companies bold enough to build infrastructure for everyone, not just the suburbs.
