Pityana said the Prudential Authority unlawfully objected to his nomination and that it circumvented procedures.

This, he said, damaged his reputation and denied him his right to be heard and challenge its objection, as provided for in law.

“That is serious and harmful and can’t be arrived at without me being given the right to be heard,” he said. Pityana said through an “informal process”, the Prudential Authority conducted deliberations about him that involved external parties — in particular, his successor as chair of AngloGold Ashanti, Maria Ramos, about a “false and untrue allegation” of sexual harassment that was made against him in 2020. This was raised by Ramos with the head of the Prudential Authority, Kuben Naidoo, when Pityana’s name was put forward by Absa.

He said his attorneys successfully objected to the draft findings, which were found to be flawed and could not be relied upon. He said he was not found guilty of any sexual harassment.
