The players
PwC Africa
The African arm of the global professional services network PwC, operating across 13 countries with more than 31 office locations.
Michal Kotzé
Africa clients and markets leader at PwC since July 2019, elected as the next Africa territory senior partner.
Dion Shango
Outgoing PwC Africa territory senior partner completing a maximum eight-year term on 30 June 2027.
The details
PwC Africa adopted a 'client zero' approach, implementing AI within its own organisation first so that advice to clients is informed by practical experience. The firm has approved more than 10 risk-tiered and secured AI tools for enterprise use and plans to keep scaling AI transformation within the business.
Timeline
July 2019: Michal Kotzé began as Africa clients and markets leader.
30 June: The financial year ended with 3.4% revenue growth.
30 June 2027: Dion Shango completes his maximum eight-year term.
1 July 2027: Kotzé takes office as Africa territory senior partner.
Market Landscape
PwC Africa's approach of deploying Microsoft 365 Copilot to roughly 70% of its workforce reflects a broader push by large professional services firms to embed AI tools internally before selling AI-driven advisory work. The firm's 'client zero' framing positions its own AI rollout as the proof point for the advice it offers clients across the continent.
Clients of PwC Africa may see AI-enabled advisory services as the firm applies its internal rollout to client work across 13 countries. The firm has not stated any change to fees or service terms in the source.
The takeaway
Large professional services firms are treating internal AI adoption as a precondition for selling AI advice, and PwC Africa's leadership transition in 2027 will determine how that approach is carried forward.
What happens next
Michal Kotzé takes office as Africa territory senior partner on 1 July 2027, when Dion Shango's term ends.
