Management & Governance
The organisational structure and the governance framework underpinning XSMLT Nexus.
8.1 Organisational structure
| Position | Mandate | Profile sought |
|---|---|---|
| Chief Executive Officer | Strategy, capital, mining relationships | 15+ yrs cross-border logistics / mining supply chain |
| Chief Financial Officer | Treasury, FX, transit bonds, covenants | CA(SA); multi-currency African operations |
| Chief Operating Officer | Fleet, depots, corridor operations | Proven large-fleet long-haul & border operations |
| Commercial Director | Mining accounts, contracting, pricing | Mining-logistics sales; take-or-pay structuring |
| Head of Security | Cargo security, escorts, control room | Ex-law-enforcement / high-value cargo security |
| Country MDs (Zambia, DRC) | Local licensing, clearing, government | In-country logistics leadership; regulatory networks |
8.2 Governance framework
- Board of 8: two founder/executive, two PE-nominated, one IDC and
one DBSA observer, two independents including chair; audit & risk
and social & ethics committees - Monthly management accounts within 10 business days; quarterly
covenant certificates (DSCR, gearing, fleet utilisation,
days-sales-outstanding) - Group treasury managing multi-currency exposure, transit bonds
and fuel-hedging policy; board-approved delegation of authority - Annual external audit; independent fleet and asset verification;
comprehensive insurance (goods-in-transit, fleet, liability, political
risk on DRC exposure)
The team is defined by role, not by named, contracted individuals —
and this venture demands rare talent: cross-border mining-logistics
operators with DRC and Zambia regulatory networks and multi-currency
treasury discipline. For a R780m raise, DFI credit committees will
require signed principals (CEO, COO, CFO and Country MDs) as a condition
precedent. The plan should be read as conditional on securing operators
with demonstrable copperbelt-corridor track records.
