as Group Finance Director effective 1 December 2025.
Nopasika – the retiring Group Finance Director was instrumental in driving a number of
improvement processes in the Group geared at inculcating effective financial management
and value creation around cash and revenue management. In addition, during her tenure,

currently the Executive: Strategic Finance and a standing invitee to the Group Executive
Committee.
Relebohile has been with Barloworld for 10 years and started her journey in the Group as
CFO for Avis Budget Southern Africa in 2015 (then a subsidiary of Barloworld). She brings
over 27 years of experience in managing and operating businesses within various roles. Her
expertise includes holding leadership positions in Corporate Finance, Group Treasury,
Financial Reporting, Corporate Governance, Group Tax, Financial restructuring and more.
During her tenure she has played a pivotal role in the following defining projects for the
Group:
- the acquisition of Ingrain starch business from Tongaat Hulett Limited
- the unbundling, refinancing and subsequent IPO of Zeda Limited (the business she
headed as the Financial Director)
- the buy-out of Barloworld's defined benefit pension fund based in the UK
- the sale of 50% of the Motor retail business to NMI Durban South Motors (Pty) Limited
(on which she still serves as the Audit committee chair)
- member of the steering committee of the take-private transaction of Barloworld.
Before her time at Barloworld, Relebohile was a partner at KPMG Inc. for 7.5 years, first in the
technical department and later in Accounting Advisory services.
She holds a CA(SA) qualification and is an Advanced Management Program Harvard
Business School graduate.
Mr Sewela remarked: "The Board and I are all indebted to Nopasika's contribution and wish
her well in her future endeavours. Furthermore, I welcome Relebohile into her new role and
remain confident that she is the right person to take the Group to the next level as we
continue to "Defy Limits" in our approach to business".
