ED Platform is a development economic adviser for a range of diverse roleplayers in the renewable energy and mining sectors. It works directly with regulators, corporates and community members to create real, sustainable economic change, and Maloba Tshehla is its head of strategy and growth. This position entails nurturing human capital and positioning the firm as a leading economic development advisory. Tshehla also serves as the spokesperson for the South African Photovoltaic Industry Association.
Contributing to mitigating climate change and driving the development of African people is what drives Tshehla to excel. “I want a clean-energy, low-carbon economy that is Afrocentric. The work I do is meaningful and involves a lot of service. Advisory is service to clients, but economic development advisory means we are in service to the objectives of transformation and the betterment of ordinary South African lives,” Tshehla says.
Therein lies the growth – in contributing, putting your views on the table and having them challenged, reinforced, disregarded, grown.
