Pityana to take his Absa board dismissal case to the SCA
The Pretoria High Court last month dismissed his application for leave to appeal against a March decision by the same court, which found in Absa's favour.
Sipho Pityana has been refused leave to appeal by the Pretoria High Court against its March 2026 judgment, which upheld Absa’s decision to remove him from its board in 2021.
The former Absa board member says he was ‘strongly’ advised by his legal team to petition the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) directly after the Pretoria High Court refused him leave to appeal last month. The court found Absa had acted rationally in removing him from the board in November 2021.
