Shoprite, SA's biggest retailer, has appointed former Telkom boss Sipho Maseko to its board as an independent non-executive director, a move one analyst said should be welcomed by investors.
Maseko, whose extensive experience includes nine years at the helm of Telkom, is also a former chief operating officer at Vodacom. He has recently been in the news after leading a consortium that made an unsuccessful pitch for a stake in the partly stated owned telecom group.
