Governing Structures

The IoDSA is bound by the Companies Act No.71 of 2018 and its Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI). In addition, the IoDSA applies the voluntary principles of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance in South Africa 2016 (King IV).

As promoters of corporate governance in South Africa, we believe it is our duty to set the example of the application of good governance, on a proportionate basis, for a company of our size and nature.

Through ethical and effective leadership, we strive to achieve the governance outcomes of ethical culture, good performance, effective control and legitimacy. As part of our annual reporting, we produce a Governance Report that details our application of King IV per governance principle.

Our governance structure is as follows:
