The Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (AFSA) has issued a media statement announcing the appointment of Andile Nikani as chief executive officer. Previously head of the Department of Trade, Industry & Competition’s takeover regulation panel, according to the statement Nikani played a ‘critical’ role the process of arriving at ‘landmark rulings on company law’ – as well as in the development of merger and acquisition regulations impacting on Johannesburg Stock Exchange-listed companies. The statement also refers to Nikani’s experience in leading takeover regulation panel ‘strategy formulation, implementation and risk management initiatives’.
AFSA chair Michael Kuper is quoted as having described Nikani’s appointment and future leadership role as ‘pivotal’ in shaping corporate structure and strategies during a period of significant expansion in the Foundation’s local, regional, and international activities. This is especially noting global regulatory insights gleaned while serving as a visiting regulator in the UK and Hong Kong takeover panels.
Holding an MPhil in Corporate Strategy from the Gordon Institute of Business Science, an LLM from the University of Liverpool, and an LLB and BA from the University of Cape Town, Nikani is now pursuing doctoral studies at the University of Pretoria.
