There’s a narrative in South Africa that CA(SA) CEOs kill companies.
At face value, I believed it too. I’ve seen businesses lose energy, stop investing, and drift into cost-cutting cycles.
Then I looked deeper.
When growth disappears, leadership shifts from expansion to protection. Boards stop asking “how do we grow?” and start asking “how do we survive?”
That’s when they bring in a Chartered Accountant (CA).
Not because CAs kill companies, but because they are trained to control risk, preserve capital, and manage downside.
So what looks like the CEO “destroying” the business is often the business already in decline.
The CA didn’t cause the stagnation.
The stagnation selected the CA.
You see this clearly in the media space.
Traditional broadcasters and publishers lost growth as audiences fragmented and advertising shifted. Instead of building new models fast enough, many moved into protection mode.
Budgets get cut.
Teams shrink.
Content risk reduces.
Innovation slows.
From the outside, it looks like leadership failure.
From the inside, it’s survival strategy.
The real problem is what happens next.
If a company stays in defensive mode too long, it loses its ability to create value. Cost-cutting becomes the strategy instead of a tool.
That’s when the soul disappears.
So the question isn’t:
“Are CA CEOs bad?”
It’s:
“Is this company being run to survive, or to grow?”
Because those are two very different playbooks.

@ditebogomailula You can teach and engineer accounting, but you can never teach an accountant engineering. It’s as simple as that.

People don't understand gore engineers are good at adapting to any system or any change of management as long there are tools in place.
Mechanical engineer can still manage electrical and structural,processing...

They even pay for their CIMA or CFA especially those with no finance background 😭 People just don’t know .

When it comes to engineering, y'all must know your place. Just because you know some engineers working at a BMW, Ford or VW doesn't mean assembly is the limit of engineering in SA. In fact half of the R2 trillion tax collected should go to engineering based projects.

SA engineer are good at assembling another person's dream - What have they built?, except building departments and assembly lines

@uLuyanda_Gama I just checked ,and I saw it .but in a reality engineers deals with complex mathematics than ACC science
English
Start reading from the initial tweet. Slowly…
Jazz Fingers@drexrampage
Explain your story,where you require so much maths in ACC Science?. While at average engineering student do 5 modules ,different mathematical principles.
English
@_ladytopaz The fact you, still have to explain to someone difference between artisan,technician and engineer .You are wasting your time

There’s a difference between artisans, technicians and engineers. Engineers are not involved in the actual construction. They’re involved in the design process. Eskom imported artisans and technicians. People who study at TVET colleges. A lot of which have been closed down

@ashtonshudson @Landlord015 @MxolisiBob Eskom had to import 100s of engineers from China for the construction of Medupi & Kusile, where were our esteemed engineers at that time ? Like nna ake tlhaloganye 🤔🥴

@Rendani666 Acc science requires a higher level in mathematics than engineering my brother…

@KeMothetsi Funny thing , they forget engineers are technical and can still manage project budget.

This topic is getting more interesting. 😂😂.. Auditor General must do the same. You cannot audit Civil Engineering projects without a civil engineer with a site experience in the team!

Standard Bank even hires engineering graduates for internal audit roles and pays them 3x their salaries.

South African Engineers are operating the deepest mine on Earth, a true testament to world-class engineering sector we have. The support, the hoisting, the ventilation, the refrigeration. People come from all walks of life to see what it takes to mine 4km below surface. And we still projecting a 19 year LOM.

@uLuyanda_Gama @Rendani666 engineering degree ,they deal with complex maths with double integration, d many complicated stuff .ACC science deals with basic maths.
which application of maths is used for ACC and engineering can't do ?
English
Have you seen the Wits prospectus for studying Bachelor of Accounting Science ?😭

People become CA’s after getting rejected from Engineering or struggling with basic high school Maths
