Hyve Group Urged to Hire Africans & Black Women Leaders

In Africa's burgeoning energy sector, the lack of African leadership inside the Hyve Group has raised serious concerns, leading demands for action from the African Energy Chamber. Despite generating significant income from the continent's markets, Hyve Group's leadership lacks African representation, raising concerns about the company's commitment to diversity and inclusion.

The African Energy Chamber has emphasized the disparity between the enormous contributions of persons of African descent to Hyve Group's activities and their underrepresentation in senior positions. This discrepancy emphasizes the need for Hyve Group to reconcile its actions with its stated commitment to inclusion.

Mr. NJ Ayuk, Executive Chairman of the African Energy Chamber, praised the oil and gas business for its proactive attitude to employing, training, and promoting Africans, which contrasted significantly with Hyve Group's methods. He emphasized Africans' ability, talents, and vision, claiming that these are critical to the success of enterprises working in Africa.

The African Energy Chamber urges Hyve Group to understand the importance of resolving Africans' underrepresentation in top roles. It emphasizes that real dedication to diversity is not merely an issue of social fairness, but also a commercial need for a corporation that relies on African markets for income.

Furthermore, the Chamber seeks clarity in tax contributions made to the South African Revenue Authority from VAT monies collected by Hyve Group. This appeal for accountability emphasizes the overall requirement for openness and justice in the company's activities.

In conclusion, the African Energy Chamber believes that Hyve Group must turn its stated commitment to diversity into tangible activities that promote an inclusive leadership team. The Chamber is ready to participate in constructive discourse to help assist this change and guarantee that African talent is adequately represented at all levels of the organization.
