About
Takalani G. Musekwa
Founder & Managing Director · Musekwa Reward Advisory
Takalani G. Musekwa has more than two decades of experience advising organisations on the most consequential leadership issue they face: how executives and employees are paid.
His career spans the public and private sectors, with deep experience across JSE-listed companies, state-owned enterprises, and non-profit organisations. He has served as Group Head of Reward at a JSE-listed company, supported REMCOs as Remuneration Executive, and contributed at board and governance level through roles on ICASA's Remuneration Committee and the UIF Board.
Takalani is a Master Reward Specialist — the highest professional designation awarded by the South African Reward Association — and an Archbishop Tutu Fellow through Oxford University's Saïd Business School. He served on the SARA committee responsible for the guidelines on the implementation of King V and the Companies Amendment Act.
Musekwa Reward Advisory was founded on a single premise: that boards and remuneration committees deserve counsel that is independent, technically rigorous, and accountable to them alone — without the commercial conflicts that compromise advice from larger firms.
