Motlanalo recognised as a top empowered company in South Africa

Koko Khumalo, Chief Executive Officer of Motlanalo Inc. Motlanalo Chartered Accountants and Auditors Inc. has been recognised as a Top Empowered Company by Impumelelo Top Empowerment, one of South Africa’s leading platforms for benchmarking transformation and empowerment.

Top Empowerment is widely recognised for celebrating organisations that prioritise transformation and empowerment as an integral part of their business strategy across both the public and private sectors. Motlanalo’s recognition follows a rigorous research and benchmarking process that assesses organisations against key criteria, including black representation at the leadership level, employment equity, senior management composition, empowerment policies, skills development, and broader contribution to the economy. Motlanalo’s inclusion among South Africa’s top empowered organisations reflects its continued commitment to transformation as a core strategic priority.

Founded in 2017, Motlanalo has grown from a single office in Limpopo to offices in four provinces across South Africa and became PA Global’s first sub-Saharan African member firm in November 2025. The firm is a majority-black, women-owned and managed professional services firm. Koko Khumalo, founder and chief executive officer of Motlanalo, said: “This recognition reflects the intentional work we have done to build a firm that contributes meaningfully to transformation in our profession and in the broader economy.

This recognition reflects the work we have done, but more importantly, the responsibility we carry going forward,” said Koko Khumalo.
