Dr Motsei is an ICF-certified and accredited integral coach. She lectures and consults in the fields of leadership and culture in various corporate executive education programmes.

Ms Discala has close to 20 years business, commercial, finance, and investment experience, and is a strategically and operationally focused leader. As a seasoned Chartered Accountant (SA), she has extensive senior and executive corporate experience in financial services, banking, and investment institutions.

“We have a responsibility, now more than ever, to place diversity and inclusion at the core of our business operations, including at Board level,” says Zutari Chairperson Dr Lulu Gwagwa. The latest appointments will bolster the Zutari Board in overseeing the company and supporting the management team.

The appointment of Dr Motsei and Ms Discala follows the retirement of Non-Executive Directors Ms Zohra Ebrahim and Mr Mzimkulu Msiwa from the Board on 30 June. “The Board wishes to thank Ms Ebrahim and Mr Msiwa for their contribution and leadership through exciting and challenging times over the past years,” concludes Dr Gwagwa.
