Black Business Council appoints new CEO

Incoming BBC CEO Mohale Ralebitso

The Black Business Council (BBC) has appointed Mohale Ralebitso CEO, effective October 1.

Ralebitso, a BA Honours graduate from the Queens College City University of New York, in the US, also completed a Senior Executive Programme in 1999, which was a joint initiative of the Harvard Business School and Wits University.

He previously worked as marketing, communications and corporate affairs director at Old Mutual Emerging Markets and as group executive of marketing at Absa Group.

Prior to that he was executive chairperson of The Jupiter Drawing Room and group marketing director at Liberty Group.

“Mohale is a fantastic choice for organised black business, especially at the time when the BBC needs to build on the exceptional confidence that it currently enjoys all around,” said BBC president Ndaba Ntsele.

The BBC would hold a two-day policy conference on September 16 and 17, during which it would take the opportunity to interrogate the African National Congress discussion documents in preparation for its forthcoming National General Council.
