Father
Basani Maluleke’s father raised his kids in Soshanguve and then moved with them to Johannesburg later on. Basani Maluleke’s parents were retailers, and young Basani would pop in the shop now and then to help them.
Later, George Maluleke would become a lawyer and an inspiration to his daughter Basani, who would note in an interview that she got her work ethic from him.
Capitec Career
Before joining Capitec Bank, Basani Maluleke held several key finance positions in South Africa. She was the first black CEO of a South African bank, the African Bank. She resigned from her role in January.
Her resignation led to an outcry at the time, with many people calling it a significant loss for women. However, in retrospect, it wasn’t precisely a significant loss, as Basani Maluleke snapped another prestigious position in what she called the best bank in Mzansi: Capitec.
While working at the African Bank, she and her team considered Capitec a significant threat and the bank to beat. She thinks Capitec is the bank every other South African bank should strive to best.

For one who had called the shots in several finance positions in South African and been the head of an important bank, Basani Maluleke isn’t doing badly. Of course, she would not be caught speaking about her net worth, but then she’s one of the most affluent females living in the Rainbow Nation.
While her exact net worth is unknown, and she wouldn’t comment on that, conservative estimates put her net worth at $7 million.
