The retirement of Long$4$Life chief executive Brian Joffe, only to move to the chairperson$$s office, is the latest such transition

in South Africa$$s business sector that has raised concerns about the blurring of lines to the detriment of corporategovernance integrity. There are risks when this cooling$-$off period is not observed, especially when there is a strong chief

executive who could have an influence on the board, according to advocate Annamarie van der Merwe, executive chair of

the FluidRock Governance Group and, until recently, a longstanding member of the King Committee on Corporate

Governance. Commenting on the move by Long$4$Life$$s Joffe, she said: $$Is this the right decision with Brian? I do not know

and that is the job of the board. They were comfortable, at the end of the day, with that decision.
