Juba Mashaba, recently appointed chief human resources officer at Cell C

Cell C, the South African mobile operator, has named Juba Mashaba as its chief human resources officer, effective June 1st.

His appointment is part of a strategy to implement “a new transformation initiative”, which the company said is aimed at creating an environment of employee empowerment and business conversion.

“Mashaba has gained experience across many HR areas, having worked for both South African and global leading brands,” the company said in a statement, “He joins Cell C from Aveng where he served as an executive director and director of HR since 2007.” 

Before that, he was head of human resources at both Arcelor-Mittal (South Africa) and Simba, a division of PepsiCo International.

“Juba’s experience will undoubtedly strengthen our renewed focus on people management. I am confident that he will be an excellent addition to our leadership team,” said Cell C chief executive officer Douglas Craigie Stevenson.

Mashaba has taken on the role formerly held by Juliet Mhango, who has been appointed chief human capital development and transformation officer.
