Ntombi Langa-Roys grew up in exile with a father that was actively involved in coordinating the struggle against apartheid. She sat around the table with her parents with many noteworthy struggle leaders as a child, while they debated the strategies and solutions to bring about change in South Africa. Over the years, this foundation guided Ntombi to play the guiding role that she plays on various high-powered boards on the JSE, to continue the transformation, and notably gender transformation in South Africa.
Her laugh is infectious, and her approach to life is pragmatic and wise. She has a passion for people and leadership development at a time when we need everyone in powerful positions to re-think our approach to the development of a leadership pipeline for the future of South Africa. She is an icon, especially to young women in leadership positions, and much can be learned from her strong, but gentle approach to being an effective leader.
