The study found that women held 5.8% of all board seats.<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">KEY FINDINGS<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Few women directors hold seats in the board rooms of South Africa&#8217;s largest companies. Only 5.8% (179) of 3,087 board directorships in the Top 300 companies are held by women.<\/li>\n<li>Among the Top 300 companies, those owned by the government have greater representation of women on theirs boards (20%) than the publicly-listed companies (4.3%). They also average more board seats held by women (4 per board) than publicly-held companies (1-2 per board).<\/li>\n<li>A little over a third (37.7%) of South Africa&#8217;s 300 largest companies have female directors. The majority (62.3%) of these companies do not have women holding corporate board seats.<\/li>\n<li>South African Broadcasting Corporation ranks first among the Top 300 companies in the number of women on its board \u2013 5 out of 12 (41.7%)<\/li>\n<li>Among publicly-listed companies, Rentsure Holdings Ltd. has the highest percentage of women board directors \u2013 33.3% (2 out of 6 board seats)<\/li>\n<li>Among the companies that do have women on their boards, the majority (63.7%) only have single seats for women. Overall, most South African companies are not yet ready to have more than one woman on their board.<\/li>\n<li>The 179 women-held corporate board directorships in the Top 300 companies are actually claimed by only 140 individuals, since 25% hold multiple directorships. Five women hold four or more board seats: Dr. Danisa Baloyi, Elizabeth le R. Bradley, Irene Charnley, Hixonia Nyasulu, and Prof. Louise Tager.<\/li>\n<li>A comparison with other countries that have data on women&#8217;s representation on the boards of each country&#8217;s major corporations shows the United States at 11.1%; Australia at 10.7%; followed by Canada at 9.1%; then South Africa at 5.8%; the United Kingdom at approximately 5% and Japan at 0.2%.<\/li>\n<li>80% of the 500 largest companies in the United States now have at least one woman corporate director, compared to only 37.7% of South Africa&#8217;s Top 300 publicly-listed and government-owned companies having female board directors.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Sponsored By:<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/logo-coca-cola.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-1527 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/logo-coca-cola-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"logo coca cola\" width=\"215\" height=\"161\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To <strong> order a copy<\/strong> of the 2000 CWDI Report on South Africa, <a href=\"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/CWDI-Order-Form.pdf\"><strong> please click here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2000 CWDI Report: Women Board Directors of South Africa&#8217;s Top Companies The 2000 CWDI Report: Women Board Directors of South Africa&#8217;s Top Companies focuses on the top 300 companies as ranked by BFA McGregor (Pty) Ltd. and Financial Mail Top&hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/2000-cwdi-report-on-south-africa\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue Reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[9,5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2275,"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229\/revisions\/2275"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/globewomen.org\/CWDINet\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
