Kgomotso Mufamadi is the chief executive of Lotus Labour Consulting, a boutique labour law and organisational development firm that helps corporates, SMEs, and public institutions build compliant, inclusive, and sustainable workplaces. She holds an LLM from the University of the Witwatersrand, where she also serves as President of the Wits Convocation, representing alumni in higher education governance. A former CCMA commissioner and head of Industrial Relations at BMW, Kgomotso founded Lotus Labour Consulting to transform workplaces from conflict-driven environments into spaces of dignity, growth, and collaboration. Her daily work involves advising clients on complex labour matters, leading policy development workshops, mediating disputes, and mentoring HR and legal teams. What she enjoys most is helping organisations shift towards proactive, people-centred workplace cultures. Kgomotso also serves on the boards of Greenpeace Africa, Make Your Mark, Richmond Farms Zambia, and Southern Africa Philanthropy, where she influences governance and social impact initiatives. Grounded in her Christian faith, she believes authentic leadership begins with self-awareness and healing, inspiring others with her values: “You cannot carry your traumas into leadership — that’s what creates toxicity in workplaces.” Inspired by her first mentor, Justice Kate O’Regan, Kgomotso strives to lead with love in every space she occupies.
