Charles Vikisi is one of the first names to come to mind in South Africa, where sources single him out as one of the market’s “standout” in-house professionals. He joined retail giant Edcon in 2008 as General Counsel and Group Secretary and has been at the heart of its legal activity ever since.

He has and continues to play a central role in Edcon’s transactional activities, including significant acquisitions and sales, as well as the high-profile restructuring of the group’s debt. He is additionally notable for his involvement in diversity schemes and acts as an adviser to the group’s BEE Trust.

He is characterised for his ability to perform in high-pressure situations, with a source commenting: “In the most difficult circumstances he retains his cool; he has a wonderful sense of calm.”
