Abstract: This article examines the role played by Boards of Directors in contributing to the success of social enterprises in the South African non-profit sector. Previous studies by several scholars have painted a gloomy picture on the contributions of Boards of Directors to the success of organisations within the non-profit sector. Highly involved and effective Boards of Directors have been argued to be an infrequent phenomenon, an exception rather than the norm. Using primary data from a qualitative study, this article argues that Boards of Directors are playing a significant role in the success of many social enterprises within the South African non-profit sector.
