The Virtues Of Corporate Governance And Ethical Behaviour – Bhekezakhe Winston Khuzwayo

Description

The Virtues Of Corporate Governance And Ethical Behaviour explores the critical role of good governance and ethical leadership in the success of community-owned land restitution entities in South Africa. Bhekezakhe Winston Khuzwayo highlights the leadership challenges faced by community trusts, associations, and cooperatives after land claims, and advocates for the establishment of professionally run trading companies owned by these entities.

The book emphasises the importance of corporate governance not only in the trading operations but within the trusts themselves — encouraging self-regulation that extends beyond trust deed requirements. Joint ventures and partnerships are recommended as tools for diversification and skills transfer, while the African philosophy of Ubuntu is recognised as a vital leadership style for sustainable development.

Khuzwayo calls on Black Africans to drive innovation, participate fully in the value chain, and challenges large commodity producers in industries like sugar and timber to foster inclusive, meaningful partnerships with new landowners.
