AST Group and Spescom have restructured their boards to bring them more in line with corporate governance standards.
Two executives have stepped down from the AST board and another non-executive director has been appointed, while Spescom`s board has been reconstituted to consist of two executive directors and three non-executives.
The move follows the announcement by Dimension Data earlier this week that it was slashing its main board to bring it in line with corporate governance guidelines and drive the next phase of its business development.
AST executive directors Thinus Mulder and Joop Groeneveld have left the board, while Mofasi Lekota has been appointed as an independent non-executive director.
Mulder is to report to financial director Marthinus Erasmus, while Groeneveld will serve on the group`s executive committee.
The restructuring has resulted in a board of six non-executive directors, of whom four are independent, and five executive directors: chairman Gerrie de Klerk, CEO Jan van Zyl, financial director Marthinus Erasmus, sales director John Miller and marketing director Pieter Bouwer.
The group says Erasmus`s function includes mergers and acquisitions and international strategy.
Spescom`s restructuring has resulted in the resignation of six directors from the board: Simon Blagden, Vernon Leas, Johann Leitner, Carl Mostert, Viv Crone and Ken Baker.
The group says they remain in their current executive management capacity.
