Constituting more than 50% of the population, women remain severely underrepresented in decision-making positions. Women constitute less than 10% of CEOs and chairpersons of boards of companies listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange, JSE. They hold less than 16% of directorships and 21% of executive management positions. The number of better-performing companies, with 25% or more women directors and executive managers, continued to decrease from 58 in 2008 to 37 companies in 2010. We still have 27 JSE-listed companies without even a single woman at directorship or executive management level. One example is Checkers, which does not have a single woman on its board, despite the vast majority of its customers and workers being women. Clearly there is an urgent need for extra measures to be taken to hasten the process of transformation and empowerment of women. We have to find measures to address this abnormality which is a major indictment on transformation as far as it relates to women in South Africa.
