PwC Africa has elected Michal Kotzé as its next Africa Territory Senior Partner, placing an executive with nearly three decades of experience at the professional services firm in charge of its strategic direction across 13 African countries.

Kotzé will assume office on July 1, 2027, succeeding Dion Shango, who will complete his maximum eight-year term on June 30, 2027. He currently serves as PwC Africa’s Clients and Markets Leader, a position he has held since July 2019, and joined the firm in 1997.

His election followed PwC Africa’s established governance process, involving nomination by fellow partners, an extensive network and African board governance vetting process, and a vote by partners across the territory.

In his new role, Kotzé will lead the execution of PwC’s strategy across the continent, working with the three regional chief executives and teams in its East, South and West market businesses.

His responsibilities include strengthening the firm’s focus on service quality, ethical conduct, accountability and stakeholder trust, while aligning its African operations with the wider PwC global network.

The appointment comes as PwC Africa seeks to deepen collaboration across its markets and support businesses navigating technological, economic and investment changes.

The firm operates in 13 African countries, with more than 31 offices, over 385 partners and approximately 10,000 professionals.

Shango said Kotzé’s experience across the firm’s markets and businesses made him well positioned to build on the progress achieved during the outgoing leadership’s tenure.

“Michal brings a rare combination of deep client experience, a broad understanding of our business and a genuine commitment to Africa,” Shango said, adding that his election reflected partners’ confidence in his leadership and judgement.
