0Thandisizwe MgudlwaCape Town – Perhaps it is in the spirit of transformation and employment equity that Bp Southern Africa (Bpsa) appointed Priscillah Mabelane, a chartered accountant, as its first black female chief executive officer. She brings a “wealth of world-class experience and expertise” to her new role as chief executive. Prior to joining BP, Mabelane held various executive roles in a number of large South African companies. BPSA chairperson Thandi Orleyn thanked the outgoing chief executive, Daniel Odogwu, who was at the helm for three-and-a-half years and welcomed Mabelane. The road to becoming the first black female CEO for BP Southern Africa started sometime back for Mabalane.
