From local to global,
building a better tomorrow
As we were preparing for elections,
we were also engaged in a number of
international activities. In April, South
Africa attended, for the frst time, the
leaders summit of the BRICS group
of nations, which comprises Brazil,
Russia, India, China and South Africa.
This was an historic occasion, the frst
time that Africa has been represented
at this important gathering of leading
emerging market nations. This meeting
takes place at a time when the
countries of the developing world as a
whole are gaining a greater voice in the
international community. It is signifcant
that even during the global economic
downturn, most developing countries
continued to grow at higher rates
than many developed economies. It is
important that Africa now has a voice in
such a forum.
These two events one local, the
other global represent two facets
of the same mission, which is to build
a better tomorrow for our people
and for the peoples of the world. We
know that we cannot separate the
task of local economic development
from the challenge of transforming
the world trade system. If people are
going to build factories and create
jobs in our towns and cities, we need,
among other things, to be able to fnd
international markets for our products.
And to reach these international
markets, we need to have adequate
roads, railways and ports.
We know that if we are to improve
the living conditions of our people,
ensuring that everyone has water,
sanitation, housing and electricity,
we need to attract greater levels
of foreign direct investment.
Strengthening relations with
other emerging markets creates
opportunities for closer economic
cooperation in areas like investment,
technology transfer and development.
We know that if we are to be
successful in the global environment,
we need to develop our most important
resource, our people. This means that
we need to focus on improving the
quality and reach of our education
system. We need to provide access to
all to health care, so that our people
can achieve their potential. In these
respects, we can learn a lot from our
partners in BRICS, and from many
other countries with which we have
established strong relations.
Though it may sometimes seem
far away, our people have a very real
interest in the achievement of peace
and stability not only on our continent,
but also across the globe. Economic
progress is not possible in conditions
of confict and unrest. It consumes
resources that would otherwise have
been put to productive use for the
betterment of all people.
Yet, perhaps the most signifcant
link between local and global at this
moment in our development is to
be found in the challenge of climate
change. Though we may not be
responsible for carbon emissions on
the scale of the developed world, we
are nevertheless greatly affected by
global warming. Towns that food,
crops that fail, water supplies that dry
up, all are local symptoms of a global
problem. That is why South Africa
is determined to work with leaders
across the world to fnd solutions to
these pressing problems.
We face many challenges. Yet we
also have greater opportunities than
our predecessors could have imagined.
Let us work together, in our local
communities, as a nation, and as a
member of the global family, to build a
better tomorrow for all.
Jacob Zuma
ANC President
President Jacob Zuma addressing the
BRICS leaders in China
S
outh Africans recently went to the
polls to elect their representatives
for local government. The election
was a great success and a tribute to the
millions of voters who demonstrated
their determination to decide for
themselves on the matters that affect
their own future. Nationally, the ANC
emerged as the leading party, receiving
a clear mandate from the electorate
to continue to put the needs of the
people at the centre of its programmes
in government. Voters gave a clear
indication that, while much has been
achieved since the dawn of democracy,
much more needs to be done to bring
about the lasting changes that we want
and need in our communities. A central
element of the ANCs message was that
we must all work together councillors
and communities, business and labour,
national and provincial government to
ensure that we create jobs, provide
affordable services to all, and build
much-needed infrastructure.
President Jacob Zuma
Jacob Zuma was born in 1942 in Inkandla, KwaZulu-Natal. Infuenced by a trade unionist family member, he became
involved in politics at an early age, joining the ANC in 1959. He became an active member of Umkhonto we Sizwe in 1962,
following the banning of the ANC in 1960. While on his way out of the country in 1963, he was arrested with a group of 45
recruits near Zeerust and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment on Robben Island. After his release, Zuma helped mobilise
internal resistance and was instrumental in the re-establishment of ANC underground structures between 1973 and 1975
in the then Natal. He left South Africa in 1975 and became a member of the ANC National Executive Committee (NEC) in
1977. By the end of the 1980s he was Head of the ANC Intelligence Department. Following the unbanning of the ANC in
February 1990, he was one of the frst ANC leaders to return to South Africa to begin the process of negotiations. In 1991,
at the frst ANC conference held in South Africa since 1959, he was elected the Deputy Secretary General. After the 1994 elections, Zuma
was appointed MEC of Economic Affairs and Tourism in KwaZulu-Natal. In December 1994, he was elected ANC National Chairperson. He was
elected ANC Deputy President in December 1997. He served as Deputy President of South Africa from 1999 to 2005. He was elected ANC
President in December 2007. He was sworn in as the fourth President of a democratic South Africa on 9 May 2009.
National Chairperson Baleka Mbete
Baleka Mbete was born in Durban in 1949. In 1974 she joined the KwaMashu Youth Organisation, a NAYO affliate.
She taught English and Afrikaans at Isibonelo High in 1974 and 1975 and was picked up by the police a number of times in
1975 and 1976. She joined the ANC in May 1976 and went into exile. She worked in the ANCs Department of Information and
Publicity and the ANC Womens Section. Following the unbanning of the ANC, she was Secretary General of the ANC Womens
League from 1991 to 1993. She was elected to the ANC National Executive Committee in 1994. She served as Deputy Speaker
of the National Assembly in the frst democratic parliament in 1996 and became Speaker in 2004. She was elected ANC National
Chairperson in December 2007. She served as Deputy President of South Africa from September 2008 to May 2009.
Secretary General Gwede Mantashe
Gwede Mantashe was born in the Transkei village of Cala. His political activist life began in the Student Christian Movement
where he chaired its Western Transkei structures. He joined the National Union of Mineworkers while working at Matla Coal
in 1982. From 1985 to 1988 he was NUM Regional Secretary in Witbank, and then served as the unions National Organiser
until 1993. From 1994 to 1998 he was Assistant General Secretary, becoming General Secretary in 1998. He stepped
down in May 2006, and was appointed an Executive Director at the Development Bank of Southern Africa. In 2007 he was
elected Chairperson of the South African Communist Party and was elected ANC Secretary General in December 2007.
Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe
Kgalema Motlanthe was born in 1949. At school he was infuenced by the ideologies of the Black Consciousness Movement
and Steve Biko. In 1976 he was detained for 11 months for furthering the aims of the ANC. He was again arrested in 1977 and
sentenced to 10 years on Robben Island. After his release in 1987 he served as an organiser and later as General Secretary of
the National Union of Mineworkers. He was elected ANC Secretary General at its Mafkeng conference in 1997, and ANC Deputy
President at its Polokwane conference in 2007. In July 2008 he was appointed Minister in the Presidency. From September 2008 to
May 2009 he served as President of South Africa. He is currently the Deputy President of South Africa.

A
s readers page through this issue, the sixth since the launch of our agship publication,
they will be struck by the range and number of Progressive Business Forum (PBF) activities
covered in a single issue of Progressive Leader, reecting as it does, the steady increase of
PBF activities. By design, every issue covers the full spectrum of PBF activities like gala dinners,
ministerial networking events, overseas trade delegations, visits of delegations from many countries
to South Africa, etc.
This is done in the rst instance to ensure that PBF participating businesses are kept fully
informed about what their business platform of choice is doing for them, thereby encouraging
them to get involved. But to present Progressive Leader as a powerful instrument of internal
communication is certainly not the full story. We say this because increasingly Progressive Leader
has become a vehicle to showcase what the PBF is doing across a wide spectrum, not only of
national proportion, but also highlighting global activities designed to add value for ANC participating
companies of all sizes. This showcasing is at the top end of business locally and internationally
and is being sent not only to all PBF members, but also all ANC top leaders, Ministers, Deputies,
Premiers, provincial MECs, Members of Parliament, Metro Mayors, local government leaders, South
African ambassadors abroad and foreign ambassadors and high commissioners in South Africa, top
end businessmen in South Africa and outside such as the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South
Africa) countries and the UK and USA. Add to this the fact that previous editions of Progressive
Leader and its loyal advertisers can be accessed on the PBF website (www.pbf.org.za). The effect of
all this is an instrument of communication envied by many.
What also adds signicant weight to the inuence of Progressive Leader is the way in which it
serves as a platform for political and business leaders, thereby giving our readership an insight
into their thinking and producing a strategic advantage. A case in point is the regular Letter from
the President, which we have published in every issue thus far and of which we as PBF are highly
appreciative to our President for engaging with business in this way.
Not least we are appreciative of the efforts of our publishing and editorial team in enable us to
deliver a unique and strategic publication of value, which we will continue to strive for.

To the PBF Co-Convenors
Tracking our progress from PBF point of view
Exactly a year ago, the Progressive Business Forum (PBF) and the honorable Minister of Energy, Mrs. Dipuo Peters,
led a group of PBF members to a trade mission in South Korea. Part of the missions deliberations focused on how
South Korea managed to rise from being a poor third world country the size of Kruger National Park with 43 million
people, to becoming one of the richest countries in the world in just 20 years. From these deliberations a lot was
learnt about their economic model and strategies and how some can be applied benefcially in South Africa to the
beneft of business, the state, and the population at large.
After returning from the mission, Thlokomelo Management, an Electrical Engineering company based in Pretoria,
established a network of companies to work together in implementing the lessons learnt. Noted was that South
Korea relies mainly on the technology exports for its economic prosperity; then Thlokomelo Management ventured
into working hand in hand with Korean companies that seek to disseminate technology to South Africa and
African market at large. The strategy is to use the network as a distribution capacity that can beneft both the
Korean technology vendors and the local companies within the network. The futuristic perspective of this working
relationship is to get the Korean companies to transfer skills with the view to eventually manufacture some of the
technology products locally, with research and development backing from the technology partners.
So far the technologies for which relationships have been secured and the projects are under implementation
are solar water heating and energy saving light bulbs. Perhaps the most important thread in these positive
developments is that without the initiative and support from the PBF, neither Thlokomelo Management, nor its
Korean partners, or even our local network of companies, would be presiding over this monumentally great
opportunity. On that note, we say thank you to the Progressive Business Forum; may your support continue to
the very end.
Victor Nkuna (Director)
Thlokomelo Management
To the PBF Co-Convenors
Letter of appreciation for Dynamic Tendering Workshop
We would like to convey our sincere and heartfelt gratitude to the PBF for the networking opportunities since we
joined you in February 2011.
Our company Directors are 29 and 22-years-old respectively and the networking opportunities availed to us have
seen our company grow in size and stature in the small period we have been with the PBF. The Dynamic Tendering
Workshop that we attended on 22 February 2011 could not have come at a better time, as we were busy with fve
tenders with one of our big clients. The lessons we learnt from the PBF facilitator helped us to win all fve tenders
without a problem. This guaranteed us work until December 2011, which is a milestone on its own considering the
stiff competition out there. We were tendering against some bigger companies but none had the edge that we had
from our PBF facilitated training. To us, networking is not only about how many business deals we have managed
to close, but also the quality and level of conversation and engagement that the PBF has facilitated. Our company
is owned by two young people but we have managed to break new ground in terms of clients and how positively
and professionally we deal with each and every one of them. Thank you PBF for helping us with opportunities and
training which we would have only dreamt of.
Keep the good work up.
Kind Regards
Evans Farai Chabata and Jabulile Ngomane-Chabata
Directors

he ANC Progressive Business Forum (PBF) has as its main objective the promotion of dialogue between the business
community, the ANC and its representatives in Government.
Since 1994, the ANC-led government has worked tirelessly to transform the South African economy, through fundamental

articipants in the Progressive
Business Forum (PBF) have had
a tumultuous rst half year,
with a range of activities including
training, ministerial networking events,
international trade delegations, gala
dinners, etc.
The year had hardly begun and
the PBF was on its way to Chennai
India, where it led a delegation of
12 companies to the International
Renewable Energy Exhibition and
Conference. This was the second
visit to Chennai in a space of three
months, as the PBF took a trade
delegation to the city during November
2010, accompanied by the Executive
Deputy Mayor of Ethekwini, Cllr Logie
Naidoo. This visit took place with a
simultaneous visit to Ho Chi Minh City,
Vietnam, where, led by Deputy Water &
Environmental Affairs Minister, Rejoyce
Mabudhafasi, the PBF participated in the
Vietnam Water Industry Conference.
In May the PBF visited Havana,
Cuba, for the second time. This
visit took place directly after the
announcement of the Cuban political
and economic reforms, and following
South African President Zumas
December state visit to the island
nation, both of which opens up new
opportunities for trade and investment
between the two countries.
Focus on BRICS & Africa
The PBF, in its international
programme, strengthened by South
Africas inclusion in the BRICS block
of nations, continues to focus on the
participating countries of Brazil, Russia,
India and China, with Africa as an
additional focus region. To this end a
PBF delegation leaves for Mauritius in
June, and at least two delegations will
visit China in the second half of 2011.
To strengthen the level of work
between China and South Africa, the
PBF recently concluded a working
arrangement between itself and the
China Council for the Promotion of
International Trade & Investment.
The PBF is also working well with the
Chamber of Indian Industry.
Next year the PBF will call on the
other two BRICS countries, namely
Russia and Brazil (for the 2nd time).
In the meantime the PBF has
also played host to a number of
incoming Chinese trade delegations,
including the Jilin trade delegation
in February, which included a well
attended conference and B2B session
at the premises of Ernst & Young in
Johannesburg; and the China Auto
Tour & Exhibition during November
2010, in which the PBF participated in
Johannesburg, Durban & Cape Town.
The PBF also participated in trade
conferences and B2B sessions for
incoming trade delegations from Korea
(hosted by Kotra) and Vietnam (hosted
by JCCI).
Domestic activity mushrooms
In addition to the aforementioned
incoming trade delegations, the PBF
has continued with its ministerial &
networking events programme. 2010
was closed off with events addressed
by Dr Mathews Phosa, Treasurer
General of the ANC, held in both
Johannesburg & Durban.
2011 kicked off with a PBF organised
gala dinner on the eve of the January
the 8th Statement in Polokwane, with
President Jacob Zuma as the guest
of honour and keynote speaker. Two
further Presidential Gala Dinners were
arranged by the PBF at Sun City (in
February) and the Gallagher Convention
Centre, Johannesburg (in March).
A number of training sessions were
also held in Johannesburg, Cape Town,
Durban and Port Elizabeth, as well as
a ministers networking session in Cape
Town during April, at which the Deputy
Minister of International Relations
and Cooperation, and ANC Western
Cape provincial chairperson, Marius
Fransman, was guest of honour and
keynote speaker.

any of the principles we practice
in business apply in your
personal life and should not be
neglected.
The frst and arguable the most
helpful principal I want to address is
the business plan. Many businesses
start off with a business plan but the
successful businesses revisit their
business plans at least once a year. It
gives you a great sense of direction and
steer your decision making.
Now, I wonder how many people
make personal business or fnancial
plans. What do I mean by this? Think
where you want to be in 10/20 years
from now or at the end of your working
career. Do you want to be fnancially
independent? Do you want to work for
yourself? Once you know your desired
destiny you must build a plan on how
you are going to achieve it. You must
have a fnancial action plan.
There are normally only a few key
drivers: Income (salary, interest income,
dividends) less expenses (living costs,
interest expense) = either a surplus or a
defcit. There is a book called Rich Dad,
Poor Dad that teaches this with a very
simple story: Poor Dad bought a larger
house and car every time he received a
salary increase, increasing his debt and
thereby effectively worked for the banks
his entire life because he had a constant
defcit. Rich Dad on the other hand lived
in a small house and drove a modest car
for a large portion of his initial working
career, but invested all his surplus cash.
One day Rich Dad found himself very
rich and he could afford to buy anything
his heart desired.
The message Im trying to convey
is that you should live within your
means to ensure you have money
left to save. However, you must be
clever when you put money away
instead of just saving you must be
investing! The famous Albert Einstein
said: Compound interest is the
eighth wonder of the world. He who
understands it, earns it... he who
doesnt... pays it. If you invest R1000
per month for a year and then the
following year you invest 10% more
(R1100 per month) and so on for 30
years, and we assume your investment
grows by 10% per year, then you will
have accumulated R5.7m in 30 years
time. If you are able to achieve an
investment return of 20% per annum
and also increase your yearly savings
by 20%, then your investment would
have grown to more than R70m! Not
everybody can be an expert investor,
hence there are professionals out
there that can help you. One of our
businesses, PSG Konsult, is the largest
independent broking and advisory
business in South Africa and they can
help you make the right investment
decisions. Please contact them at www.
psgkonsult.co.za should your require
assistance. Another tip - if somebody is
selling you an investment product that
guarantees you a return of 20% - they
are lying and the chances are very
good that you will lose your money!
The rule is simple - higher returns
normally come with higher risk.
Now once you have your personal
business plan, you need to follow it up
in your day to day living. In business
we do annual budgets but we also do
stringent cash management. At PSG
we look at our cash fows on a weekly
basis; each time we analyze what cash
we have earned/spent/invested and
then look at our cash in- and out-fows
for at least a year ahead. It gives us
time to make the right decisions. In
your personal life it means analyzing
and scrutinizing your bank account on
at least a monthly basis. Dont ever
buy something on budget, dont fall for
store cards and keep it simple so that
you can understand your cash fows.
These lessons are very simple. Draw
a long term plan for yourself and then
make sure you spend less than what
you earn so that you can save (invest)
money on a monthly basis and then
continuously monitor your cashfows to
make sure you are sticking to your plan.
This has worked out well for me.
My children will tell you that since
they were small I included them in my
discussions regarding my fnancial plan
for the family. I did this long before
I was fnancially successful. Due to
the beauty of compounded interest I
have many times exceeded my initial
fnancial dreams. Having invested
money constantly enabled me to start
PSG when the opportunity arose. PSG
has been great for the past 15 years. I
will be the frst to acknowledge that I
was lucky, but if you have no money to
invest because you live a life of surplus,
you will never be able to get lucky. So
start investing!
Managing your cash flows
In your personal life as well as in business, managing your cash fows is key
to your fnancial well being, writes Jannie Mouton

effrey Thamsanqa (Jeff) Radebe
is one of the countrys longest
serving and most recognizable
members of government. As one of
the original members of cabinet, he
was frst deployed by former state
president Nelson Mandela as Minister
of Public Works in 1994. He is currently
a member of the National Executive
Committee of the ANC and Minister of
Justice and Constitutional Development
and head of policy in the ANC.
Born in 1953 in the town of Cato
Manor in Kwazulu/Natal, as a young
boy Jeff had already felt the negative
effects of apartheid after his family
and his neighbours were evicted and
forcibly moved to KwaMashu, one of
the biggest townships in Kwazulu Natal.
I know every corner of Kwamashu, he
says about the place he grew up in.
A studious young man who loved
his books, he matriculated from
Isibonelo High School in KwaMashu
with, he proudly adds, a distinction
in geography. With a head for
mathematics and physical science, he
had the option of studying medicine
at the University of Natal but chose to
study law at the University of Zululand
instead. A decision he says was largely
motivated by the political climate
of that time, and one he has never
regretted. We had to make sacrifces,
life in South Africa under apartheid
was not going to be enough, he says.
The real future of South Africa lay in a
nonracial democracy I put my shoulder
to the wheel to change South Africa.
Politics
He got his start in politics at a very
young age. He was already involved
in a youth movement based in
KwaMashu called Kwayo KwaMashu
Youth Organisation, a forerunner to the
National Youth Organisation. During
that time he was also exposed to the
ideologies of the Black Consciousness
Movement under the leadership of
among others, Steve Biko and Keith
Makoape. These are the people who
introduced us to the movement, he
says.
It was in the 1976, after the
Soweto uprisings that he earned his
activism stripes and joined the ANC,
a party which after the uprisings
was establishing itself as the leading
organisation of the struggle.
The liberation of former Portuguese
colonies Mozambique and Angola at
that time inspired and opened up a
lot of avenues for the ANC to fght
the apartheid regime with the help
of the rest of Africa. The contacts
and assistance from these countries
made involvement in the underground
operations of the organization possible
for Jeff and his comrades who were
deployed in countries throughout the
rest of the continent. About that period
he says. It was clear at that time that
the apartheid regime was intensifying
its hold, but the winds of change were
blowing across the rest of Africa.
In the late 1970s he was sent to
Mozambique by the ANC followed by
a two year stint working as a radio
journalist at Radio Freedom in Dar
es Salaam, Tanzania which was part
of an effort by the ANC to counteract
the negative information that the
apartheid government was spreading
about the organization to the rest of
the world.
While in that country, he also
worked as deputy chief representative
of the party. In Lusaka, Angola he was
involved in the international relations
department of the party. While in
Lesotho he spent time working with
underground structures and giving
political direction to many activists
involved in Umkhonto we Sizwe. He
also was present for the formation
of the United Democratic Front
(UDF) one of the most important
anti-apartheid organizations in the
1980s. He describes the 1980s as a
tumultuous but encouraging time.
It was a time of real change in
South Africa; you could feel that our
people were no longer prepared to be
ruled by apartheid, he says.
And like so many other activists
during the 1980s, he was arrested in
1986 under the Terrorism Act. He has
only unpleasant memories about his
prison experience.
Forget what people tell you about
jail, it was bad, he says. He was
originally sentenced to 10 years on
Robben Island, but on appeal the
sentence was reduced to six. During
his prison term he was as active inside
as he had been on the outside and
regarded it as just another front or
terrain of struggle. While incarcerated
he held various positions as head of
political education and was a leader of
a hunger strike which accelerated the
release of political prisoners.
The many roles of Jeff Radebe
The ANC is a movement, its my home,
he says about the party in which he has
been a member for most of his life, and
the driving motive behind all his work.
After all these years, he still holds the
party in high esteem, and attributes
many of the changes in the country to
the ANC and its policies.
He has also given a lot of himself
to the party. Since 1994 he has been

An
experienced hand
The story of how a young boy from Kwazulu Natal became a devoted political
activist and well-respected member of cabinet, is one we are not familiar with
but one that the minister, Jeff Radebe, is happy to share writes Lebohang Thulo
20
Minister of Public Enterprises, Public
Works, Transport, a short stint as acting
Minister of Health and now Minister of
Justice and Constitutional Development.
I ask him what he brings to each
department. I make sure that the
challenges I fnd there, I must crack
them in order to ensure that we provide
good services to our people, he says.
As a leader he admits to being a
tough task master who believes in
collective leadership, But I am not
afraid of being bold in ensuring that
things are done, he says.
His notable achievements throughout
the various ministries he has headed
include the initiation of the Public
Procurement Reform, supporting
small black owned contractors and
improvements in the running of state
owned enterprises during his time as
minister of Public Works.
While at the Department of Public
Enterprises he oversaw the listing of
Telkom on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange and The New York Stock
Exchange. The construction of the
Gautrain, Bus Rapid Transit System
and the airports in Durban, Cape Town
and Johannesburg were during his

s
term as Transport Minister. All these
experiences shaped the idea of being
a turnaround specialist, and is based
on his belief that there is not big or
small task. Another lesser known, but
equally impressive, achievement by the
minister was the naming of a fower
after him in 2003. The Leucospermum
Radebe Sunrise is a new and rare yellow
pincushion protea.
But it is his role as a servant of the
people for which he is best known and
most passionate. A role which began,
he explains, when he was activist
and leader and has now translated
itself into government. Governments
adopted principle of Batho Pele is
one he takes to heart. We want to
change the quality of life of all South
Africas people, so its important that we
dedicate ourselves and leave no stone
unturned in order to provide good
service to the people, he says.
A story that has stayed close to him
is his experience as minister of Public
Enterprises with a group of black
women working on a state-owned
forestry company plantation, SAFCO
(South African Forestry Company)
in the Cacadu district just outside
Port Elizabeth. When the plantation
was going through restructuring, the
women approached the minister with
their business plan and requested that
a piece of the land be handed over
to them. Today the business, run by
these woman, is thriving and helping to
support the women and their families.
Family Man
Another role of which he is equally
proud, is that of the family man. Jeff
married Brigette Radebe in 1998
and Nelson Mandela was a guest of
honour at the wedding. He has three
children; his oldest son works at the
Department of International Relations
and Cooperation. He also has two
daughters, the eldest is studying at
Pretoria University and the youngest is
only four-years-old. Family is the basic
unit of society, he explains, and needs to
be nurtured and provided for; a lesson
he tries to pass on to his children, along
with the importance of education.
To the rest of the countrys youth his
message is that of sacrifce and hard
work especially during Youth Month.
Young people need to rededicate
themselves and realize that the freedom
that they are enjoying today is because
of sacrifces of people like Tsietsi
Mashinini, Solomon Mahlangu and many
other unsung heroes and heroines of our
youth, he says.
The focus for young people now,
unlike during apartheid, should be on
education and skills development. He
explains that we have attained political
independence, but political freedom
without economic emancipation is
meaningless.

n 18 May 2011 the Progressive
Business Forum (PBF) held a
cocktail and networking event
at Coastlands Umhlanga in KwaZulu-
Natal. The main address at this event
was given by the KwaZulu-Natal
Premier and ANC Chairperson in the
province, Dr Zweli Mkhize.
Over 200 people, including PBF
participants, ANC ofcials and other
guests attended the event, which
was aimed at informing the attendees
about progress made with regard to
the 2011 Local Elections, as well as
giving an update on PBF work in the
country and the province.
The proceedings were opened
by the programme director, Sadha
Naidoo, CEO of the Calypso Group,
who introduced Renier Schoeman,
PBF Co-Convenor. Mr Schoeman spoke
about the need for the voters to keep
their eye on the vision of the Freedom
Charter, which clearly stated that all
South Africa belongs to all who live
in it, black and white, and appealed
to minority voters not to allow ill-
considered statements to create
negativity towards the ANC on 18 May
2011.
Dr Mkhize then took to the
podium. He spoke with extraordinary
knowledge and insight about the
history of the province leading to the
unique and vibrant mixture of cultures
seen today.
Dr Mkhize emphasised the enormous
amount of work and effort that
had gone in to creating a fruitful
collaboration between races, cultures
and social strata, from the rst wars
in the 1800s, to the successful ANC
election campaign of the present.
The Premiers speech was very well
received by all.
In addition to the excellent
speeches, a lively auction was held in
order to raise funds for the election
campaign. The auctioneer, Vinay
Rajkumar of Invesprop Real Estate
Agents and Auctioneers successfully
auctioned the following items: 2
magnum bottles of Dieu Donne 2002
Cabernet Sauvignon, personally signed
by the President Jacob Zuma; beautiful
leather bound book containing two
of President Zumas speeches, also
personally inscribed and signed; a
copy of a photographic collage given
to President Mandela by photographer
Kevin Joseph; and nally a copy of
the iconic photograph taken by Mr
Joseph of the ANC top six ofcials,
on their election at the 52nd National
Conference in Polokwane, 2007. Over
R350 000 was raised for the KZN
election campaign, which Premier
Mkhize acknowledged with appreciate.
KwaZulu-Natal Finance MEC, Ina
Cronje, gave the vote of thanks,
after which the ofcial proceedings
were closed, followed by a vibrant
networking session occurred over
cocktail snacks.

A vote for the
ANC
Secretary General Gwede Mantashe spells out the
ANC's basic points of departure
I
want to start my appeal to South
Africans to vote for the ANC on
18th May 2011 by setting out the
ANCs basic points of departure with
regards to this election:
In the 2009 general elections, the
ANC focused on the ve national
priorities - creating decent work and
sustainable livelihoods; education;
health; rural development and agrarian
reform; and the ght against crime
and corruption.
Progress has been made on these
priorities. Through our direct contact
with the people in villages, townships
and suburbs we have received
feedback on the progress, or lack of it.
We often nd a consistent message
We appreciate the progress, but want
faster change.
It is also a message that communities
want to work with government to do
more. And we have listened. Going
forward and taking the message of
working together, we need to do things
differently and we will!
Our election manifesto addresses
the main challenges we face in our
communities and local government
and the ways of doing things. Our
Manifesto is affordable, realistic and
achievable. It draws lessons from our
experience in government. It builds on
the achievements and changes we have
brought since 1994.
But local government and
communities do face major challenges
reducing unemployment, more
access to better quality basic services,
overcoming the legacy of apartheid
spatial development, strengthening
community participation and building

effective, accountable and clean,
corruption free local government.
Our Manifesto is our commitment to
address these challenges, working with
communities.
We are committed to ensuring that
local government understands the
fundamentals of serving communities.
National and provincial government
will work shoulder to shoulder with
municipalities in this major effort.
We have subjected our nominees to
the scrutiny of communities.
We are committed to ensuring that
every councilor will regularly report
back to the community and explain
plans, successes and challenges. This is
not negotiable.
Since 2000 we have been developing
a new nonracial, democratic and
developmental local government
system, which will ensure that
municipalities assume their full role as
enshrined in the countrys constitution.
Many municipalities are functioning
well, but many others, especially in the
rural areas, are still struggling, lacking
the capacity and resources they need
to fulll their functions.
This has led to some municipalities
being unable to provide even a core
of basic municipal services effectively
and efciently. As a result the pace of
local development has been uneven,
and some communities have been left
behind.
Project Consolidate in which
National Government sent in support
management teams to remedy
managerial failures made a difference
and brought improvements, but not
enough.
Now we are lacking things further.
The Government launched the local
government turn-around strategy
in 2009. It is a major initiative
to consolidate and strengthen
municipalities through active
support from national and provincial
government and effective community
participation.
The challenges facing municipalities
relate to accountability. Many councilors
have served their communities well but
many have not.
What happens locally, depends
on effective cooperation between
municipalities, provincial government
and local government. We need to
ensure that national and provincial
government do work more closely with
local government to ensure that they
fulll, their functions more effectively.
Work is underway to review their
powers and functions of all spheres of
government to ensure a more effective
cooperative governance system.
From top to bottom, under the
leadership of President Jacob
Zuma, government is monitoring
implementation more closely to
ensure that government does its job.
The President put a new Minister in
charge of monitoring and made all
national Ministers sign performance
agreements. Where there has been
underperformance, the President has
taken action to strengthen those areas.
At a local level, some councilors and
Mayors who are not performing well
have been replaced.
Government has also taken active
steps to deal with the corruption in
local government. Where necessary,
the special instigating unit has been
called in. But a lot more needs to be
done to intensify or campaign against
corruption.
At the end of an election campaign,
during which, as is the case in all
election campaigns worldwide, a good
deal of negative energy has been
released into the political discourse.
This must not be allowed to distract
the sight of South African voters across
the spectrum, to whom our appeal
for support is directed, now as in the
past. Our target is every South African,
black, white, coloured and Indian.
Obtaining and sustaining their support,
across the board, is our challenge, and
our strength, if we are successful in
this endeavour.
I can say this without fear of
contradiction. It has been 99 years
since a meeting of chiefs, church
and organization representatives
brought about the creation of the
African National Congress (ANC) in
Bloemfontein in January 1912. Forty
three years later the Freedom Charter
was adopted and has become more
than just a document expressing the
concerns and hopes of a subset of
the population. It has now become
the dream of the nation. The primary
objectives of the ANCs program is to
give meaning to the preamble of the
Freedom Charter that South Africa
belongs to all who live in it, black
and white and the only way we can
create such an inclusive society, is to
give space to people, irrespective of
political afliation or race, to make
a contribution to ensure that that
contribution is also recognized. Ideally
this entails support for the ANC at the
ballot box at election times.
The Freedom Charter itself was
created and embraced by more than
just the ANC. The Coloured Peoples
Congress and the Indian Congress,
were among other organizations that
brought life to what is the basis of this
countrys constitution. The Charter
presents several points which were
binding ideals of the people at the time
and included ensuring that the people
governed, equal rights for all, economic
equity, education, land redistribution
and security. These have become the
issues that we have to handle every
day in order for us to progress as a
nation together.
In the long term the ANC is guided
by the single dream of developing
a united, non racial, non sexist,
democratic and prosperous South
Africa. That is the dream.
But whilst we have a dream and a
vision of a better South Africa, than
the one we nd ourselves in, and a
better life for all, we have the day to
day task of governing a country with its
many challenges. We are not in denial
about the adequacy of our performance
in government in all the spheres and
neither are we complacent. We have
acknowledged over and over that we
must do better.
But the fact remains that no other
political movement is able to command
the width and depth of the ANCs
electoral and social support. Even if
the ANC were to disappear, who could
possibly replace it?
My message to the voters is a simple
one. Do not sit on the sidelines and
shout at the ANC. Get onto the playing
eld and play your own role building
a better country. Hurting or punishing
with your vote will not take our country
forward or achieve anything positive
because strong challenges need a
strong government. Start your on
journey by voting for the ANC on 18
May 2011, and then by joining it, and
working from the inside for a better
South Africa, with the many South
Africans from all races that live in the
hope that that will come about. That is
the best way to secure your own and
your countrys future.
And when this election is behind us
and the dust has settled, let us engage
in a new positive national discourse
and exchange of ideas on how the
vision of the Freedom Charter can be
achieved and ensured for us all.

he South African Film industry
has been on the rapid rise in
growth over the past decade,
having produced international
recognised quality flms with strong
local content like the Oscar winning
flm Tsotsi and the Oscar nominated
flm Yesterday which addressed a
pivotal message at the time about the
disease AIDS. The current success of
flms such as White Wedding, District
9, Blood Diamonds, Hotel Rwanda
and the proftable Mr Bones 2 which is
South Africas top box offce leader with
a gross of R34 million show positive
support for the developing global
market from the local audience.
There is huge interest from
international flmmakers to shoot on
our beautiful locations and with the
newly developed Cape Town Studio the
industry is creating innovating strides
towards establishing the industry as an
economical viable force to recognize.
It is estimated that out of 25 feature
flms shot here annually, a potential
of 1200 direct jobs can be created. It
is with the support of government
organisations such as the National
Film and Video Foundation whose
aim has been to, train promote and
fund local flmmakers that new young
directors and producers have emerged
with strong content. Creating a
platform for co-productions with other
countries such as Canada, Italy, United
Kingdom, Germany and other African
countries has also helped.
The First Grader is a great example
of flms created from the co-production
treaty, featuring top local actors such as
Tony Kgoroge and Vusi Kunene. It was
written by South Africas Emmy award
winning director Ann- Peacock and was
the frst co-production between SA,
Kenya and the United Kingdoms the flm
is distributed by Videovision.
They are also numerous local flms
and TV awards ceremonies that give
recognition to the work done by our
local artists as the SAFTAS and Naledi
Awards as well as festivals such as the
Durban Film Festival and Encounters
which have established a platform
for flmmakers to showcase their
work in the hope of securing possible
distribution.
It is the ultimate dream for every
upcoming flmmaker to show their
work at well-established festivals
like Cannes Film Festival where the
National Film and Video Fountain,
has set up a pavilion in the last fve
years to promote the local industry
on international platform. At this
years Cannes Film Festival, SA had a
large presence with its screenings
and the winning of the Queen
Palm by the Afrikaans flm titled
Skoonheid directed by upcoming
Capetonian Oliver Herman , the frst
3D animation Jock of the Bushveld and
Spud featuring John Cleese created
excitement at the flm festival.
On the local scene, our flmmakers
are struggling to secure fnance
for feature flms that could screen
in cinemas and get international
distribution. However frustrating the
situation is, many young directors and
producers are doing the best they
can by creating movies for television
and other mediums and fnding other
innovative means to tell their stories.
The upcoming young directors who
are pushing the boundaries are Khalo
Matabane, Norman Maake and Shaft
Moropane who is currently shooting
his flm Cast the First Stone which is
commissioned by the pay TV station
Mzansi Magic. With a small budget he
has been able to secure a great cast
and made use of popular but affordable
locations in Alexander and Soweto.
The department of Arts and Culture
also supports the industry mostly
through the NFVF. I had the honour
of being part of their delegation to
the Fisahara Film Festival in North
African in May. The Fisahara Festival
is held annually in the Western Sahara
desert to showcase flms from Spain,
Venezuela and South Africa. More
importantly, it is a festival of solidarity
for the Saharawi people who have been
fghting for their own self-determination
since the Moroccan occupation.
Our honourable host, the Minister
of Culture, Professor Khadija Hamdi,
related how important flm and culture
were for South Africa during apartheid
in communicating the message of
human injustices to the international
media and how we can help their
community in doing the same through
co-productions and skills sharing.
The growth of the SA
flm industry
Film producer Milly Moabi discusses the status of the local flm industry.
Film producer Milly Moabi
studied flm at AFDA. She
produces short flms, music videos
and promotes South African
flmmakers. She is currently
developing her frst documentary
feature about the confict in the
Western Sahara.
36
17
years ago South Africa
embarked on a new journey.
This journey was predicated
on the need to give expression to the
wishes and aspirations of the majority
of South Africans articulated in various
forms over centuries. At the heart of
this process was a commitment to
reconcile our people and embrace our
common humanity, to celebrate our
diversity and harness it as a source
of richness fully understanding that in
it lies both inherent contradictions as
well opportunities, to build a people
centred society on the solid foundation
of a genuine pursuit of democracy,
non- racialism, non-sexism, respect
for the rule of law and the protection,
promotion and advancement of
human rights, to establish our
country as a responsible member
of the international community of
nations ready to take its part in the
construction of a better world for all,
and fnally, to accept that our own
destiny is intertwined with that of our
continent and therefore the imperative
need for us to secure a peaceful and
enduring prosperity in Africa.
Since then, we have covered a lot of
ground. There are many achievements
to celebrate. These include; the
adoption of our constitution, the
building of a unitary state that serves
all its people, building independent
institutions, including the judiciary,
building an economy based on sound
macro-economic fundamentals,
extending social and economic services
to the majority of the population
previously excluded on the mere basis
of the colour of their skin, building
health and education systems that
beneft all our people, hosting the
most successful FIFA World Cup, and
implementing an international relations
policy predicated on the need to build
humane and well managed world.
However, it would be remiss of me
not to mention that more remains to
be done.
Like in every war and battle, the
transformation path has not been
smooth. We still lack universal access
to quality education and healthcare.
Unemployment remains high. Growth
rates are humble, thus limiting
opportunities for sharing.
Fortunately, the political organisation
I represent, the African National
Congress, the governing party in South
Africa, is honest about these challenges.
It does not pretend to have a monopoly
of wisdom to resolve challenges that
lie ahead. Neither does it believe that
disabilities accumulated over centuries
can be wiped out in two decades.
We are in for a long-haul, working
together with local and international
partners who wish to see South Africa
succeed. We appreciate the support
we have had from the government
and the people of the United States of
America as our international partners
over the years.
Our bilateral political relations with
the United States of America are sound
and characterised by openness and
mutual respect. We have established
mechanisms to exchange ideas even on
those areas where our views may differ.
By and large we share common
values which form the bedrock of our
partnership. Ours, we believe, cannot

be a partnership based on shifting
sands of political expediency. Our
nation values this partnership and will
play its part to protect it, to nurture it
and ensure that it grows.
We have also forged strong
partnerships in the economic sphere.
You are our largest portfolio investor
and fourth largest source of Foreign
Direct Investment.
All these have contributed to the
successes we have registered both in
our country and our region. After all,
a stable and thriving South Africa is
key to the stability and success of the
southern African region.
As you are aware, South Africa
is humbled that, in spite of our
own domestic social and economic
challenges, we are entrusted with the
responsibility to lead the continent
of Africa. The responsibilities which
we shoulder are heavy, but not
insurmountable.
In many of these we have based
our actions on shared views. This
is the case in Sudan, in the Great
Lakes region, particularly the DRC, in
Somalia and in Madagascar, to name
but a few.
In Sudan we need to continue to
work together to support not only
the birth of a new and viable state
of South Sudan but to also recognise
the tensions that the results of the
referendum have created in the North.
Therefore we need to work hard to
compose these tensions and to set
off a process of mutually benefcial
coexistence between the two states in
the Sudan.
As regards Somalia we need to
work with all partners to encourage
an inclusive and meaningful dialogue,
peace and stability, while creating the
necessary space for a lasting political
solution to be found.
Africa, and indeed the world, needs
a Somalia that is functional and
viable. Anything less means continued
extremism manifested in acts of
terrorism continually posing dangers
not only in the Horn of Africa but the
world at large.
The tragic attack by the Al Shabaab
on an innocent and defenceless people
in Uganda in July last year showed
their readiness to visit the spectre of
terrorism on other regions of Africa.
Ominously, we are worried by the clear
link between this group and Al Qaeda.
Finding strength in unity, we cannot
but succeed in this daunting task of
putting paid to the scourge of terrorism.
We are determined to succeed as
anything less spells continued pain and
misery for scores of innocent people.
Succeeding to create condition of
peace, stability and prosperity in this
troubled part of the world will be
ftting tribute to the many lives lost
unnecessarily as a result of terrorism.
I know I speak in a country that
has felt the pain and anguish of
these deplorable acts. Let me take
this opportunity to honour those who
perished in this country on that fateful
September 11 nearly ten years ago.
In many areas our two nations share
common values and same principles
even though we may not always agree
on the means to achieve our common
objectives.
I believe that such is the case for
example in Zimbabwe where we
share a common commitment to the
restoration of democracy on the basis
of full respect for the will of the people
of Zimbabwe expressed through free
and fair elections.
With respect to Cote d`Ivoire we
fully support the decisions and the
work of the African Union High Level
Panel. We need to work towards a
more enduring peace in that country
based on an earnest attempt to boldly
confront the fault lines that continue
to bedevil the search for peace.
We need to appreciate that these

fault lines transcend individuals
and are structural, systemic and
encompass politics, law and socio-
economics. Here too, the road will
be long and hard but there is no
alternative to a determined resolve to
succeed. Failure in Cote d`Ivoire can
only spell disaster for the whole of
West Africa.
Creating durable peace in Africa
would not only be good for Africans
but would open up opportunities for
mutually benefcial economic activity.
"As an African, I am hopeful of the
future of our continent. I know that we
have to make Africa succeed and we
will succeed!
We have to turn Africa's agricultural
potential, resource endowment and
its demographic profle into a source
of wealth and opportunity. We have to
build markets that attract investment.
We know that the route we have
chosen has inevitably been through
good governance in both the political
and economic spheres. Many countries
in Africa have started following this
path and the results are showing. The
recent developments in North Africa
are an eloquent testimony to the fact
that the only legitimate grounds for any
political rule is the will of the governed.
At the same time we all need to
work together to avoid loss of life. In
this regard the events in Libya, Yemen
and other countries should compel all
of us to refect on what could have
been done to avert the shedding of
blood of innocent civilians. We must
also recognise that we are stronger
when we work together in unity.
There are major changes taking place
in global geopolitics. A key element
of this is the growing power of some
emerging powers, largely China, Brazil
and India. South Africa has over the
years sought to work closely with these
emerging powers. This explains our
membership of Brazil-Russia-Inda-
China-South Africa (BRICS).
Our work in this forum is at least driven
by two imperatives namely:
Firstly to leverage possibilities to grow
our economy so as to be able to respond
to the scourges of unemployment,
poverty and underdevelopment in our
own country.
Secondly, to argue for an engagement
with the continent that allows for our
continent to grow in a manner that
addresses the needs of its own people.
China in particular is forging long
term partnerships with many African
countries. Vital infrastructure is being
built. Many countries require this
infrastructure to be able to trade
with other countries and regions. But
also need this infrastructure for trade
and interaction with the rest of the
continent.
Intra-Europe trade is over 70% for
the major European powers. At the
same time intra Asia trade is about
60%. Yet intra-Africa trade is only
10 %. It can be said therefore that
the very basis of Africa's economic
marginalization rests with the
continents inability to trade with itself.
To do so, industrial capacity has to be
built and the necessary connectivity
ensured. All this requires Foreign
Direct Investment.
Africa also needs a global environment
that allows for it to exploit its
competitive advantage in agriculture.
That is why the current DOHA round of
negotiations and its focus on agriculture
is so vital in the process of ensuring that
Africa joins the mainstream. We invite
you to join us as we seek to integrate
Africa into the global economy.
South Africa believes that a strong
United Nations is indispensable if we
are to succeed in addressing some
of the challenges that the global
community faces.
These range from the prevention
of the proliferation of Weapons of
Mass Destruction, to the protection
of the Environment, amongst others.
But we need a UN that enjoys the full
confdence of its members. We share
the view that the UN as presently
functioning is in need of major reform,
involving all its organs.
Of specifc note in this regard is the
UN Security Council. South Africa urges
for the speeding of the reform process
in New York. We know that all this is
not easy but are convinced that timely
attention is what is needed to protect
the UN from being seen as marginal in
the pursuit of a better world for all of
the people of the world.
I started this address by pointing at
a number of wishes and aspirations
that underpin our national democratic
project. I pointed out that in our own
country we have gone a long way
in trying to construct a society on
the basis of these aspirations. It is
also clear that some of these refect
challenges in many other national and
regional settings. We stand ready to
share our own experiences as we also
try to learn from others.
Thank you once again, I look forward
to a meaningful engagement with you in
the civil society and the government of
the United States of America.

The relationship between
South Africa and the
Emerging Global Powers
Speech by Minister Maite Nkoana-Mashabane to the South African Institute of
International Affairs (SAIIA), 1 November 2010
W
hen the Administration
of President Jacob Zuma
changed our name from the
Department of Foreign Affairs to the
Department of International Relations
and Cooperation, we did so to afrm
a better understanding of ourselves
what we are about and what we
do and the complex character of the
world we live in today.
This understanding of ourselves has
its foundation in the call contained in the
Freedom Charter that There Shall be
Peace and Friendship; and that South
Africa shall be a fully independent
state which respects the rights and
sovereignty of all nations; [and] shall
strive to maintain world peace and the
settlement of all international disputes
by negotiation - not war.
We are indeed about peace and
friendship. We are about collaboration,
cooperation and building partnerships;
not confrontation and thriving in
competition or rivalry.
This is what informs not only our
approach to the world, but also to
opportunities provided to us and the
world by the rise of countries we call
the emerging powers.
The world we live in today has
changed signicantly since the end
of the Cold War. A new group of
economically inuential countries such
as Brazil, Russia, India and China
are on the ascendancy, and are re-
mapping the contours of political and
economic power in the global system.
We are at the brink of a world
envisaged in the Freedom Charter.
We are far more aware today of the
importance of global interdependence
than any time in history. And it
is evident that forging fruitful
partnerships and a stronger global
governance template requires
cooperation between the developed
and developing countries.
New Challenges
Also, new challenges related to
climate change, energy security,
and those to do with coordination of
trade and nance have become more
salient today than ever. The reality
of interdependence is a reality in the
global system today. We have shared
concerns and aspirations. Overcoming
these challenges and achieving a safer
and better world requires concerted
efforts by both the developed and the
developing world.
The simple lesson to draw from
recent history as we come to terms
with the geopolitical shifts expressed
in the rise of emerging powers is
that astute management of global
interdependence and deepening
of cooperation is essential for a
strong and stable global governance
mechanism. Emerging powers
are an important force in shaping
the coordinates of a better global
system, characterised by greater
representation, fairness and equity.
BRICS and the rise of
emerging powers
The rise of emerging powers has
helped to increase a sense of optimism
amongst developing countries.
Opportunities that were previously
not existing to inuence the evolving
global system have opened up for
developing countries as a result of the
geopolitical shifts occasioned by the
rise of emerging powers.
There is general agreement
among students and practitioners of
international relations that a dramatic
global realignment appears to be in
progress and quickening. The three
emerging third world powers of Brazil,
India and China plus Russia, are
forming new alliances with nations
extending from Asia and Africa and
Latin America.
The Big Four, as the BRIC have come
to be known, is a powerful economic
42

S
alliance of the four fast-growing
nations, two of which have the biggest
populations of any country on earth.
This group is battling to give greater
recognition to the developing giants.
On another front, is the progressive
trend that has taken sway of the
direction of many governments in
Latin America which has posed serious
challenge to the dominance of the
neo-liberal development model and
how natural resources of the South
have hitherto been exploited to the
detriment of our countries and people.
This phenomenon, together with
the increasing geo-political weight
of emerging powers of the South,
is shaking the balance of forces in
international affairs.
The seeds of South-South
cooperation were laid in the 1955
Bandung Conference, when African
and Asian nations cemented political
and cultural ties. The creation of the
Non-Aligned Movement in 1961 and the
UNCTAD G77 in 1964 was birthed out
of this partnership and shared objective
about a different global template that
is more sensitive to the interests of
developing countries. Subsequently,
various other initiatives were multiplied
from this progressive impulse.
This is an important history to draw
upon. As the South African government,
we are also aware that history has
marched on. The age of globalisation
requires us to elevate these partnerships
to a different level, building on the wells
of goodwill and solidarity, and generate
mutually benecial economic relations.
The shared historical ties make it much
easier to share lessons about pursuing
development paths. Building economic
ties with these countries become all
the more easier, because there is an
understanding of the kind of challenges
that we face as developing countries.
We share similar perspectives about
the reform of global governance, in
particular the imperative for enhanced
representation and voice of developing
countries in decision-making processes.
Signicantly, we share a common
view that multilateralism and rules-
based global governance mechanism
is the best guarantor of stability,
and provides a better framework for
asserting our values and interests.
We also share the desire to augment
our agenda-setting capabilities so that
we can engage effectively in multilateral
processes, while also defending our
policy space and exibility given the
massive development responsibilities
our countries carry.
South-South: IBSA and BRICS
When we presented the budget vote
in the National Assembly last year,
we underscored the need to intensify
our bilateral relations with countries
of the South, especially with those
that are strategic to us because of
their economy, history and geopolitical
orientation.
Our approach to intensifying our
relations with emerging powers and
other countries of the South is, of
course, through active and strong
bilateral engagement. In addition,
however, we also see the NAM and
the G77 as important for South-South
interaction, especially within the
framework of the United Nations.
At another level, we see the
formation of the IBSA and our
membership of that body as a
mechanism not only for enhancing our
trilateral partnership with India and
Brazil, but also as an important pillar
for strengthening the muscle of the
South in global affairs.
We believe that the IBSA will
get a better balance, and become
even stronger, if South Africa could
become a member of the BRIC. We
remain convinced that South Africas
diversied foreign policy objectives
and interests allow for both groupings
(IBSA and BRIC) to co-exist. It is our
belief that the mandates of BRIC and
IBSA are highly complementary.
IBSA, together with its partners,
was also hailed at UNGA65 as an
exceptional developmental initiative
through its Hunger and Poverty
Alleviation Facility, known as the
IBSA Trust Fund. This Trust Fund was
indeed honoured, during UNGA65,
with the prestigious MDG Award for
its various innovative and successful
projects in countries such as Haiti,
Guinea Bissau, Cape Verde, Burundi,
Palestine and Cambodia. This type
of cooperation was recognised as a
breakthrough model of South-South
technical cooperation.
We believe that IBSA and indeed
the BRIC are best placed to serve as
models for development cooperation in
a South-South context.
China, India and Brazil
In the recent past, we have been
intensifying our diplomatic relations
with China, India and Brazil (among
others). We have recently elevated
our relations with China to a
comprehensive strategic partnership
level, for example.
The State Visits undertaken to these
countries in the past eighteen months
or so have helped in deepening
our relations. Our business sector
has been part of these delegations,
signifying the importance of trade and
investment in diplomatic relations in
the 21st Century.
This is signicant especially as it holds
prospects for attracting investments in
our economy, contributing to the growth
of our exports, and creating conditions
for employment creation. This is in line
with one of our commitments to cast
our foreign policy in the mould of our
domestic development priorities.
We believe South Africa should
embrace all available opportunities to
establish partnerships and alliances,
which have proven dependable during
global negotiations dealing with issues
such as world trade, economy and
nance. It is our conviction that
alliances are important and the more
we have as a country, the better
especially at an economic level.
As a country, South Africa supports
partnerships that have a potential
of ensuring there is dynamic growth
and development for us in a regional
context, and not stagnation;
Emerging powers offer possibilities
for South Africa and other African
countries an important avenue for
trade and investment linkages,
technology transfers, and technical
cooperation on a range of sectors.
In terms of the numbers, BRIC-Africa
trade has increased nearly eightfold
between 2000 and 2008; and BRICs
share of African trade increased from
4,6% in 1993 to almost 20% in 2008.
Today, China, India and Brazil rank
as Africas 2nd, 6th and 10th largest
trading partners respectively.
Many economists have even gone
to the extent of suggesting that the
BRICs, combined together, have
moved Africa from the periphery of
the global economy into a wider and
inclusive centre. They argue that BRIC
economies have supplemented Africas
economic growth trajectory.
South Africas Part in
emerging Africa
South Africa will play its part to
contribute to the rise of our continent
as an emerging power. Some have
referred to our country as what they
call an emerging market. But we
believe that our strength is in how we

will marshal our collective muscle that
will bring together countries such as
Angola, Nigeria, Egypt, Algeria, Kenya
and Uganda into a formidable force.
South Africa is only strong and indeed
stronger when it is and behaves likes
an inseparable part of this continent.
However, while deepening our
relations with countries on our continent
and emerging powers, South Africa will
continue to strengthen the partnerships
that we have with countries of the
North. Our recent summit in Brussels
to strengthen our strategic partnership
framework with the European Union is
but one example of this.
A growing space of inuence
The growing space of inuence by
developing countries in structures of
global governance is something to
be welcomed. The rise of emerging
powers is a development that reects
multiplicity of civilisations and political
identities, and this should be regarded
as a source of strength rather than
weakness in international relations.
It should be seen as a critical element
for forging deeper cooperation rather
than a sign of the emergence of new
rivalries. Diversity in global governance
processes can empower decision-
making, broaden our vision, enrich our
normative concepts and language, and
further enlighten our interests.
Recent research has shown that
emerging economies contribute large
share of global growth. There is
further evidence borne out by research
that other low and middle-income
countries have registered positive
growth as a result of integrating
closely with emerging economies.
There is also a weight of expectation
from the developed world, including
the IMF, that emerging powers such
as China and India will sustain global
growth for many years to come. This
will the rst time in 200 years that
global growth is driven by emerging
powers.
This is expected to change the face
of global commerce, with innovation,
product designs and value chains
driven by emerging powers. This
newly found economic strength
could potentially translate itself into
enhanced political voice in global
governance mechanism.
Economic Centre of Gravity
The reality of emerging powers is
here to stay. The economic centre of
gravity is shifting to the South. This
shift should not be regarded as a
zero-sum game. It is an opportunity to
be harnessed to strengthen collective
global responsibility and achieve
developmental gains for developing
countries, and Africa in particular.
On the other hand, the emerging
powers will also have the challenge
to ensure that their dominance is for
the general good of the South and the
entire humanity.
As a country, the geopolitical shifts
and the need to establish global
governance on a rm foundation
requires us to refocus our foreign
policy tools as South Africa.
This is the objective we have in
mind with the White Paper process,
the Foreign Policy Council we intend
to establish, and the envisaged South
African Development Partnership
Agency.
The global system requires
that we work on managing global
interdependencies and strengthen
cooperation in order to overcome
common challenges related to
development, climate change, energy
security, and trade and nance.
SAIIA, as a non-state actor, is an
invaluable partner. We are pleased
that you have been visibly active in our
activities, including the consultation we
organized recently on the Discussion
Document on our White Paper.
We count on actions by organizations
like yourselves to work together with us
to realize the dream of a new Africa.

Some Perspectives
on BRICS and South Africa
Address by Deputy Minister of International Relations and Cooperation,
Ebrahim Ebrahim, in May 2011
T
he International Marketing
Council (IMC) of South Africa
and the Financial Times must
be congratulated for collaborating in
hosting this roundtable discussion on
South Africas membership of BRICS.
These discussions demonstrate our
willingness as a country to leverage
potential benets as a result of the
opportunities presented by BRICS.
It is indeed an honour to address you
this evening and I hope to, inter alia,
bring to these discussions a sense of
the actual BRICS proceedings from our
rst meeting as to emphasise South
Africas role within this formation. I will
also endeavor to elucidate on what it
is that South Africa brings to BRICS as
well as our strategic objectives towards
BRICS. Alongside that, we should apply
our minds on critical issues such as:
Firstly, the real commonalities that
are emerging out of this partnership;
Secondly, how the country and
the African continent envisage to
maximize benets from South Africas
membership of BRICS; and
Lastly, ensure a systemic focus on
those fundamental building blocks that
enjoin us together as a people that
which if we lose, shall detach the entire
meaning of creating a better BRICS for
a more prosperous and a better world.
I am sure that you will agree
with me that the level of interest
demonstrated by many, following
South Africas accession to BRICS, both
internationally and locally, was indeed
unprecedented and this excites us!
From the detractors and nay-sayers
to the advocates who recognize the
opportunities inherent in intensifying
international cooperation, the debates
in the media and in various economic
fora, academic institutions and think
tanks, BRICS is the focus of attention
this is without any shadow of doubt!
Move the Debate
Let us here tonight move the debate
about BRICS forward beyond narrowly
dened criteria and toward actualities
within the shifting global economic
context. I hope we will also be pro-
active in contributing to setting the
agenda for debate around BRICS,
as we make our assessments of the
opportunities, benets and challenges
so as to provoke innovative thought
and debate.
South Africas accession to BRICS in
January 2011 was the culmination of
broad-based thinking and joint efforts
that started two years ago. Drawing
from the important history of the
origins of South-South co-operation
laid down in 1955 at the Bandung
Conference, as well as with the creation
of the Non-Aligned Movement in
1961, the Government of South Africa
recognized that we have to be part of
the forward march of history.
Our accession into BRICS is also
an acknowledgement of the fact that
the age of globalization requires us
to elevate mutual partnerships to a
different level. We enter into these
alliances, taking advantage of the
wells of goodwill and solidarity out
there, with a view to exploiting these
benecial political and economic
relations. Our analysis of the impact of
economic and political globalization has
necessitated our government to nd
ways to adapt to the new conditions
on the ground, hence our decision
to seek for new markets and strategic
partners in order to prosper.
Our view is that the narrowly dened
criteria for BRICS member states have
hampered in some important quarters
the development of real and innovative
thinking on and around BRICS. It is
true, South Africa does not have a
trillion dollar GDP - and it is a fact that
we are the smallest economy inside
BRICS.
We agree that we do not have
a major world population size in
comparison to other BRICS member
states, including the high digit growth
rates enjoyed by its BRICS partners.
We move from the premise that,
there are attributes that fellow BRICS
member-states see in our country, that
some among us choose to overlook or
undermine. We also argue that, if we
consistently prole ourselves as that
small country on the southern tip of
Africa, we will go nowhere.
Political and Economic
Liberation
Our political attributes of having
traversed the route from racial
oppression to a democratic South
Africa, without going the civil war
route, is celebrated the world over. Less
than twenty years ago, all the BRICS
member states supported the liberation
struggle in South Africa, and now that
we have won our collective political
liberation, these countries come back to
us in an effort to help us win our next
battle of economic emancipation.
Our independent outlook on
international issues, be it on the reform
of Global Institutions of Governance or
issues of Climate Change or the use of
force all these have earned us respect
and recognition.
At an economic level, our positive
attributes, that puts us in a different
category include, amongst others,
our role as a major economic player
in Africa; our mineral and industrial
output; our electricity generation
capacity; our road, rail, ports,
communication infrastructure; our
sophisticated nancial markets and
service industries; our manufacturing
capacity; our membership in the G20;
our level of industrialization. All these,
and many more proles us in a very
positive way.
Important for us to note, is also
that as a group of emerging markets,
we share some similar concerns and
interests with regard to reform of the
global governance mechanism, aspects
of under-development, illiteracy,
poverty, disease and access to markets,
just to mention a few. Collaboration
and cooperation are therefore central to
this evolving BRICS Mechanism.
On the business front, BRICS
45

member states are the largest new
investors and trade partners into
Africa with strong exponential growth
potential for the future. Africas exports
to BRICS countries have grown more
rapidly than its imports - increasing
from 13 billion USD in 2001 to 93, 5
billion USD in 2008.
It must give us a great sense of
pride to know that South Africa is the
third biggest investor into Africa within
the BRICS grouping, after China and
India. Important also is the fact that
BRICS countries hold some of the
largest foreign reserve bases in the
world, coupled with the high savings
rates in those countries. We therefore
can look forward to investment in
developmental projects.

The third BRICS Summit
In order to further strengthen
the work it does, the Third BRICS
Summit came out with the most
comprehensive Declaration to date
and a detailed Action Plan. This Action
Plan pronounced on future areas of
cooperation that me and you should
start applying our minds on. These
include in the eld of Science and
Technology, Agriculture, Statistics,
Banking Cooperation, Competition
Commission, Justice, Think Tanks,
Health, Education and cooperatives.
We believe all these areas are not only
of importance to the South African
economy but also to the African
continent in general.
For those that say we should be
sensitive to our physical size, we invite
you to tell us about the physical size and
natural wealth of Japan, the Netherlands
and Singapore. If the three countries
had folded their arms and accepted it
as their fate that they are small, where
will they be today? We will continue to
nd ways to exploit our strong strategic
relations at the bilateral level with all the
other BRICS members, including within
the context of the India-Brazil-South
Africa Dialogue Forum.
We move into BRICS unashamedly
and with condence that we exist
alongside them as equals. Having
participated in the April 14, 2011
Summit, we can say this with no fear
of contradiction that participation,
deliberations and inputs into shaping
the agenda of the BRICS Forum are
given equal weight in adherence to
the principles of cooperation. The
basic values of consensus through
consultation, transparency, non-
alignment and a commitment to work on
areas of convergences inform this body.
South Africas Participation
Let me share with you details of South
Africas participation in the Third
BRICS Summit that took place on 14
April 2011.
We went into this BRICS Summit
with the objective of consolidating
our BRICS membership; commit to its
processes and related mechanisms;
identifying and there-after seek to
leverage opportunities for South Africas
developmental agenda; enhancing
the African Agenda and Sustainable
Development; promoting broad
cooperation in the multilateral arena;
46

R

C
S
and working for cooperation with other
emerging market economies.
South Africa received a very warm
welcome from the four other members
who felt that an important decit in
that composition of the group had been
addressed with South Africas accession.
We are particularly satised with the
text of the outcome document for the
Summit, the Sanya Declaration, which
is notable for being, for the rst time, a
very detailed statement with common
positions on a variety of economic and
political issues.
Our partners made it clear that they
look at South Africa as an ally and as
a guide on economic development
opportunities, into the Southern
African region and the broader African
continent. Our President went further
by inviting companies of the BRICS
member states to join hands with South
African companies in the development
of Africa and pointed out that in terms
of infrastructure alone, 480 billion
dollars in investments will be required
over the next 10 years.
My appeal to you this evening is
that we need to be mindful of the
responsibilities this new development
places upon us. Let us work together to
successfully leverage these priorities;
and seize the opportunity to the benet
of our continent. Let us not be coy
about this, nor cynical.
Not only National Interests
Our foreign policy implores us not just
to focus on our national interests alone,
but to share with our region and our
Continent. It is for this very reason that
we are pursuing regional integration
with renewed vigor with the objective of
linking SADC, EAC and COMESA into one
large Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
We believe this will provide economies
of scale, larger markets and position
us to better compete in the global
economy. The BRICS economies, which
already constitute approximately 40% of
global GDP, will link a large part of Africa
with the fastest growing economies in
the world.
The question is often asked: does
South Africa have a mandate to speak
on behalf of Africa in fora such as BRICS
and the G20 for example. We wish to
state that, we have no mandate nor
have we asked for one from the African
Union (AU) to represent them within the
BRICS Mechanism. As for the G20, we
have that mandate from the AU.
Notwithstanding, it should be noted
that our interactions within these
bodies are informed by the wealth of
information we have about our region
and our continent. We will resist any
temptation to represent only ourselves,
for we are inextricably part of this
continent. Consequently, wherever you
nd South African diplomats, they speak
not only for the wellbeing of South
Africa, but also of the region, and the
African Continent of which we are an
integral part.
President Zumas Mandate
President Zuma has been given a
clear mandate by the leadership of
the AU to chair the NEPAD High Level
Sub-Committee on Infrastructure. As
a result, the President utilized our
presence at the third BRICS Summit to
highlight Africas need for infrastructure
and industrialization. In the Sanya
Declaration, the BRICS countries
expressed support for this.
In closing, I would like to quote our
Minister of Trade and Investment, Dr
Rob Davies, when he said in his budget
vote speech on 19 April 2011 that
South Africa will work within BRICS to
build on existing trade and investment
ows, while encouraging greater inward
investment and exports of higher value
added, employment generating, goods
and services.
Minister Davies brought to the fore
the continuing importance of our
traditional partners when he noted that
in as far as investment promotion is
concerned, South Africa is involved in
targeted initiatives with China, India,
Russia, Brazil, Japan, Spain, Germany,
France, the UK, USA and countries of
the Middle East. The South African
government anticipates that this work
programme will translate over the next
three years into an investment pipeline
of projects valued at approximately
R115 billion.
Our job as practitioners of diplomacy
is to tackle and unscrew the tough
socio-economic and political nuts in
the international arena, it is now for
business to do what it does best
which is being in business.

PROFILE OF MINISTER EBRAHIM ISMAIL EBRAHIM
Ebrahim joined the liberation movement as a youth activist in 1952, and participated in the Congress of the People Campaign,
which drew up and adopted the Freedom Charter in 1955. He was active in all the campaigns of the 1950s, and after the banning
of the African National Congress (ANC) in 1960, Ebrahim joined the armed wing of the ANC, Umkhonto We Sizwe in 1961. He
was arrested in 1963 and charged under the sabotage act with eighteen other accused in the Pietermaritzburg Sabotage Trial. He

operated from the frontline states bordering South Africa and was responsible for the political underground.
In December 1986, he was kidnapped from Swaziland by the South African Security Forces and detained in South Africa where
he was severely tortured. He was charged for high treason and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment on Robben Island. In 1991, the
appeal court ruled that his kidnapping from a foreign country was illegal, and that the South African court had no jurisdiction to try
him. He was subsequently released from prison in early 1991.

South Africas
Global Role and
BRICS
Address by Marius Fransman, MP, Deputy Minister of International Relations
and Cooperation and ANC Chairperson of the Western Cape delivered in
Cape Town at the Progressive Business Forum (PBF) on 18 April 2011
A
llow me to thank the
Progressive Business Forum
(PBF) for the opportunity to
address you on this occasion. The
notion of progressive business is
a comforting one as the immense
challenges that we face as a nation
requires a different approach from
all of us. This is especially true of
business in a global climate that has
put immense strain on most sectors of
our economy and impacted our ability
to radically ramp up job creation as
envisaged in the New Growth Path.
Business in the Western Cape
Allow me for a second to also wear
my Western Cape cap and say to you
that unless there is a radical change in
the way we approach business in this
province, and embrace the agenda of
transformation in a progressive spirit,
we will not achieve the full potential of
this provinces economy. That is what
President Mandela reminded us of in
1995 in a speech when he said : The
opportunities in the Western Cape are
enormous, and it is up to all of us to
help realise the potential. There are
problems, yes, but together we can
overcome them. Let us work as one
to build the economy in the Western
Cape, in a way that brings benet to
all the people.
That is the sum total of the problem,
we cant expand this economy through
systematic exclusion of the majority
of the people and the entrenchment
of privileged access for a few. That is
not progressive and does not make
business sense. Im not a business
man but even I cant see how such
simple logic escapes the powers that
be in this province.
BRICS
Allow me now to reect on its
relevance in the context of the
opportunities opened for ALL South
African business by BRICS. President
Jacob Zuma, accompanied by the
Minister of International Relations and
Cooperation, the Minister of Economic
Development and the Minister of
Trade and Industry, attended as a full
member state, the Third BRICS Summit
which took place on 14 April 2011 in
Sanya, China.
BRICS countries account for
approximately 40% of the worlds
population, 25% of the worlds land
area with abundant natural resources
and diversied economies growing
at sustainable rates. In addition, in
2010, BRICS accounted for almost
half of the global GDP growth. As you
know, some BRICS countries enjoy
the largest global foreign exchange
reserves, China with the largest at 3
trillion US dollars, Russia (3rd ) with
439 billion US dollars, India (5th) with
283 billion US dollars and Brazil (7th )
with 240 billion US dollars.
Statistics aside, BRICS is a
mechanism for cooperation between
some of the emerging market
economies. This mechanism has
evolved from a theoretical concept into
a dialogue platform and diplomatic
initiative between the member states
where issues of common interest,
notably regarding international
economic and nancial cooperation
are deliberated.
South Africa in BRICS
There have been mixed reactions about
South Africas invitation and subsequent
acceptance to BRICS, largely based on
misunderstanding, and so I feel it is
important at this forum to touch upon
this. Some critics base their arguments
on a dated construct of major emerging
economic giants. But as
President Zuma pointed
out to the South African
business
delegation
accompany
him to China
for the Summit,
the time has come to
stop saying that South
Africa is punching above
its weight.
It is time instead to
acknowledge that South Africa is in
fact punching within its weight. This
fact is acknowledged by all the other
BRICS members and they all afrm that
the BRICS construct, with the inclusion
of South Africa, is now more complete
as it is more globally representative
and that South Africa is the leading
economy on the African Continent.
They also acknowledge the
important role that South Africa plays
with regard to peace and security
49

S
efforts in Africa, as illustrated by the
AU High-Level Panel Initiative on
Libya. In addition, that South Africa
because of its unique history and
independent foreign policy, brings a
particular perspective to BRICS.
To expand upon this, it is important
to note that in terms of GDP Capita
as well as in other areas such as
sophistication of nancial regulatory
systems, extensive and quality
infrastructure and of course, its
geographic position embedded as it is
in one of the fastest growing continents
in the world, South Africa compares
favorably to its BRICS partners.
Competitiveness
One only has to consult the 2010/11
Global Competitiveness Report of the
World Economic Forum which ranks
South Africa favorably in relation to
the other BRIC countries to see that,
in the Ministers words South Africa
ts BRICS like a glove. In addition,
the 2010 United Nations Conference
on Trade and Development World
Investment Report puts South Africa
in the top 20 of priority countries for
foreign direct investment in the world.
Among developing countries we are
still the biggest investor on the African
continent. This means that, although
our economy is small in relation to
other BRICS members, we have
attributes that have positioned us well
in the world and which will allow us
to bring special insights into the work
of BRICS. The other BRICS members
have made it clear that they would like
to work with South Africa in Africa and
the BRICS Sanya Declaration pledges
support for infrastructure development
in and the industrialization of Africa.
BRICS and the UN
All BRICS countries serve on the UN
Security Council as permanent or non-
permanent members this year and this
augurs well for enhanced cooperation
and coordination on issues of common
interest. Our membership of the BRICS
forum and the good bilateral relations
that we have with individual members
does not mean that we have turned our
back on our traditional trading partners
in the EU, the US and Japan. We
will continue to expand our economic
relations with them. However, we
will be negligent in our duties and
responsibilities to create a better life
for all South Africans if we do not take
cognizance of the changing global
power shifts and not exploit them.
What we at the Department
of International Relations and
Cooperation recognize is that foreign
policy making in the 21st century
is a multidimensional endeavour as
states use different avenues to pursue
their various interests. Some of these
interests are best addressed not only
through bilateral contacts but require
plurilateral and multilateral fora.
The global system requires
that we work on managing global
interdependencies and strengthen
cooperation in order to overcome
common challenges relating to
development, climate change, energy
security as well as trade and nance.
Through membership of BRICS
our foreign policy priorities will be
furthered enhanced. Minister Nkoana-
Mashabane put it succinctly when she
said that South Africas membership
of BRICS (will in the end) be measured
by three factors; the imperatives
of a diversied foreign policy, the
substantive agenda that BRICS has
set for itself, and the other important
attributes that South Africa possesses
which will allow it to make a signicant
contribution to the BRICS agenda.
A Lucrative Market
As I said in my opening remarks, The
BRICS grouping offers a big, lucrative
market for South African goods and
services and lots of opportunities
to implement our Industrial Policy
Action Plan and the New Growth Path
framework. We will utilize this forum to
actively promote trade and investment
which enhances industrialization and
promotes job creation.
In conclusion, a lesson we can
take from the recent BRICS Summit,
is that South Africa enjoys great
international standing and credibility
notwithstanding that we are only the
27th largest economy in the world.
There can be little doubt that South
Africas standing has been further
elevated through its membership of
BRICS. Our international standing
and the systemic signicant role
that we play is also evident in South
Africas participation in the G20.

BRICS
A powerful new
global link
The third summit of the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South
Africa) group of emerging nations took place in China. President Jacob Zuma
addressed a plenary session where he thanked the other members and
expressed how proud South Africa is to be a member of the new world order
I
t is a great honour for South
Africa to attend this third BRICS
leaders meeting as a new member
of this important mechanism. I wish
to acknowledge with deep gratitude
the personal efforts made by the
distinguished leaders present here, to
expedite South Africas membership of
BRICS.
Your various messages of
congratulations and ofcial statements
on South Africas membership have
been humbly but proudly received by
the South African government and
people. I thank you sincerely for this
exceptional welcome into your midst.
It may be recalled that just two
decades ago, South Africa was still in
the throes of its liberation struggle.
Brazil, the Russian Federation, India
and China rmly supported our quest
for freedom. Today we have met as
one, we have met as partners.
This bears testimony to the evolving
world. We are now equal co-architects
of a new equitable international system.
Such a new world order will be to the
benet of all humanity and aims at
securing shared prosperity for all.
What distinguishes each of the BRICS
countries is the value and importance
we attach to development.

We share the commitment of
ensuring that our people benet at the
broadest level from global growth and
that the benets of economic expansion
are shared equitably. South Africa and
the African continents future prosperity
is increasingly linked to the economies
of BRICS, and this forum can decisively
assist in tackling our development
decits.
As you are aware, the BRICS
countries in general have a large
savings pool whereas the African
continent is ready for large
scale investments, particularly in
infrastructure and manufacturing.
Over the next ten years, Africa will
need US$480-billion (R3.3-trillion) for
infrastructure development, which
should interest the BRICS business
communities.
Already, Africa is projected as the
third fastest growing economy in the
world, while the BRICS countries now
constitute the largest trading partners
of Africa and largest new investors.
This economic relationship will be
further strengthened as Africa forges
ahead towards regional economic
integration. This move will open up
opportunities for more foreign direct
investment and expanding trade
relations with BRICS countries.
With regards to South Africa
specically, we expect to benet
economically and politically from this
important alliance. Our primary goal is
to improve the lives of South Africans
through the growth and development
of the economy, which will in turn result
in job creation, our primary focus areas
especially this year.
South Africa stands to benet from
the concrete projects of BRICS. These
are in areas such as agriculture,
science, statistics, development nance
institutions, security and justice.
As this is a dynamic relationship,
more areas of cooperation will no doubt
be added as we interact.
We must emphasise that the
relationship with our BRICS partners
does not mean that relations with
countries such as the US and the
broader North have become less
important.
The European Union and Europe also
remain South Africas most important
economic trading partners, accounting
for approximately 40% of its exports,
as well as 70% of foreign direct
investment.
We value these relationships with the
developed North too.

We recognise the developed
Norths continued dominance, but it
is important to also acknowledge the
rising importance of the giants of the
South and the value thereof, for a
developing economy like ours.
As you are aware, the African Union
(AU) has put forward a road map
towards a viable political solution to the
Libyan situation.
The roadmap calls, amongst others,
for the cessation of all hostilities,
implementation of political reforms to
eliminate the causes of the current
crisis, and an inclusive dialogue among
the Libyan parties.
While Libyan Leader Colonel
Muammar Gadda accepted the road
map and has agreed to work with
the AU towards a solution, we must
still work further with the opposition
groups to gain their understanding and
cooperation.
We appreciate the support of the
BRICS countries of this AU initiative.
With regards to Cote dIvoire, the
AU had taken a position that the
recognised winner of the elections, Mr
Alassane Ouattara, should be given an
opportunity to lead the country.
It is important that work begins
without delay towards normalising the
situation and to unite the Ivorian people.
At the end of this year, South Africa
will host the 17th Conference of Parties
(COP) meeting of the UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change.
We are working towards the
implementation of the COP 16
decisions in Durban, and are aiming
for a realistic outcome in the short
time available, while not raising any
unrealistic expectations.
We rmly support an equitable and
legally binding outcome to be reached
by parties participating in the climate
change negotiations.
I also have the honour to co-chair,
with Her Excellency Tarja Halonen, the
President of Finland, the UN secretary-
generals High Level Panel on Global
Sustainability.
We have no choice as nations of the
world.
We must confront the climate change
challenge head on for the sake of
sustainable development and future
generations.
With regards to equitable
international trade, we join the
call for the conclusion of the Doha
Development Round, and will continue
engaging for a developmental round.
We are optimistic about progress in
many areas of cooperation, because we
in BRICS share a common view on the
need to work together to change the
world for the better.
There is unity of purpose in our
diversity and this is what renders this
mechanism unique and increasingly
inuential.
Naturally each country is responsible
to its own citizenry, but we further
share a collective accountability now
to the global community and notably
the emerging market and developing
economies component thereof.
Once again, let me reiterate the
honour of the Republic of South Africa
and its people on becoming a member
of this important group of countries.

n 18 April 2011 the ANC
Progressive Business Forum
hosted a cocktail and
networking session at the Cape Sun in
Cape Town.
The main speaker at this event
was Deputy Minister of International
Relations and Cooperation, and
ANC Western Cape Chairperson
Marius Fransman. The PBF was also
honoured by the attendance of the
Chair and Deputy Chair of the NCOP,
Mninwa Mahlangu and Thandi Memela.
The proceedings were opened by
Daryl Swanepoel, PBF Co-Convenor and
Programme Director for the evening.
The welcome address was delivered by
Renier Schoeman, PBF C-Convenor.
Minister Fransman then gave a
speech covering not only the upcoming
elections, but also his activities
at the recent BRICS summit, and
the implications for South African
businesses. The fact that South Africa
became a formal member of the BRICS
group of nations opened up many
opportunities for South African business.
Daryl Swanepoel, responding to
Deputy Minister Fransmans notion that
South African business should involve
themselves in the BRICS markets,
said that the PBF in 2008 deliberately
decided to focus on these countries.
The PBF has already led a number of
delegations to China, India and Brazil.
In addition the PBF is also promoting
mutually benecial trade and
investment between African countries
and South Africa.
The Minister highlighted and
supported the important role the PBF
plays in the South African business
environment by saying the notion of
progressive business is a comforting
one as the immense challenges that
we face as a nation requires a different
approach from all of us. This is
especially true of business in a global
climate that has put immense strain
on most sectors of our economy and
impacted our ability to radically ramp
up job creation as envisaged in the
New Growth Path.
A vibrant question-and-answer session
followed where guests asked the Deputy
Minister probing and frank questions
on topics concerning the upcoming
elections, growing business in South
Africa and the development plans for
South Africas vulnerable citizens, to
which he responded effectively.
Finally the Chairperson of the NCOP,
Mninwa Mahlangu gave the vote of
thanks and the Programme Director
closed the ofcial proceedings.
A networking session followed over
hot snacks.

rom September 1, 2010, South
African buyers have been paying
an ad valorem CO2 emissions
tax on new passenger vehicles. The
emissions tax initially applies to
passenger cars, but will be extended
to commercial vehicles in time. New
passenger cars will be taxed based on
their certifed CO2 emissions. Any new
passenger vehicle with a CO2 rating of
above 120g/km will attract a tax of R75
for every g/km over that value. This
can mean an extra payment of anything
between R750 and R25 000 on a
normal new car, depending on how
effcient and/or expensive it may be.
Climate change
Climate change (or global warming) is
generally accepted to be the greatest
environmental challenge faced by
humankind and other species. The tiny
particles that are emitted when we
burn coal, gas, oil or petrol fnd their
way to the upper atmosphere where
they can stay for decades. The earth
cannot normally radiate the heat it
absorbs from the sun back into space
as these particles act like a blanket or
mirror and trap the heat thus the so-
called greenhouse effect.
The consequences of climate
change include more volatile climate
with extreme events like foods, crop
failures, sea level rise, increased
surface temperatures, species loss,
loss of human habitat/environmental
refugees, and the spread of tropical
diseases like malaria to new areas.
The possible solutions to the problem
include more effcient energy usage
(like cars that run further per tank)
and/or the increased use of cleaner/
renewable energy like solar or wind
power that does not emit carbon
dioxide as a by-product of electricity
generation, for example, as a coal-fred
power plant does.
Because people typically are under
the impression that they make almost
no contribution to the problem and
can do almost nothing to mitigate
it, collective action is required. The
legal instruments that aim to achieve
these goals are broadly grouped into
command and control legislation and
market-based incentive schemes. These
can be likened to the carrot and
stick approaches. On a broader level,
both these initiatives can be driven
either internationally or nationally.
International rules are created by the
United Nations Framework Convention
on Climate Change and the Kyoto
Protocol. These rules determine the
obligations of various countries that
have signed up. The countries then
ensure they can comply with their
obligations by creating national rules
that will hopefully combine to reach the
countrys target.
South Africas regulations
Carbon emissions regulations in South
Africa are only taking shape now. While
the vehicle tax is already in place, a
carbon tax on electricity use has been
also been mooted that will impact on
the effective price of grid electricity
and thus on the production costs
of manufactured goods, especially
energy-intensive goods like aluminum.
Such products effectively cause a
disproportionate percentage of pollution
by the energy generator (Eskom).
Previously, the cost was passed on
to the environment and thus effectively
the total population that has to bear
the cost of the pollution. The tax will
force the internalisation of pollution
costs into the product and make it
easier for renewable energy to compete
with fossil fuel energy. It will further
create an investment signal that may
lead to increased investment into
renewable energy.
The vehicle tax is thus just one of
many such measures that will develop
in the future as governments strive to
move their economies to a low-carbon
model that mitigates climate change.
Each consumer will beneft in the end
as doing something about climate
change in the long run will be far
cheaper than doing nothing.
Why we need the
Carbon Emission Tax
The new Carbon Emission Tax is proving to be a sting in the tail of a big
vehicle purchase. Clean energy expert, Johan van den Berg, explains why
the tax is necessary.
Renewable energy expert,
Johan Van DEn BERG
practised as an advocate
specialising in environmental
dispute resolution. Since 2002
he has been working in climate
change, carbon fnance and
renewable energy. He is presently
CEO of the South African Wind
Energy Association and a Director
of CDM Africa Climate Solutions, a
company he founded in 2004.

hen major earthquakes hit
the small island nations
of Haiti in early 2010 and
Japan the following year, the rest of
the world watched on in shock at the
extent of humanitarian and economic
loss suffered by the two nations. But it
is natural disasters such as these and
others around the world that help raise
peoples awareness at how crucial
proper disaster management systems
are for when natural or man-made
disaster hits.
Due to its location and climate,
South Africa may seem immune from
the damage of major natural disasters
such as tropical cyclones, tornadoes
and earthquakes. However in just the
period of December 2010 to January
2011, South Africa experienced
disasters in 8 of the 9 provinces which
were affected by storms, lightening,
drought or fooding. The ministry of
Co-operative Governance reported
that close to 100 people died in these
natural disasters in the same period

With some of the worst disasters witnessed in recent times,
coupled with political instability on the African continent, how
prepared is South Africa for major disaster?

with close to 15 000 houses damaged
and the number of injured people
reaching 321.
While these numbers are disturbing,
we have seen how the impact
of a disaster can sometimes be
catastrophic. Just in Haiti, tens of
thousands of people died when the
quake struck. The cholera outbreak
that followed killed a further two
thousand. According to the United
States Agency for International
Development (USAID) which provides

worldwide, the earthquake in Haiti
caused a total estimated R56 billion
in damages with losses amounting
to 120% of Haitis 2009 GDP. It was
further estimated that at least R75
billion would be needed to rebuilt
the Caribbean island. In Japan, 3000
people died despite the fact that the
earthquake-prone country was one of
the worlds best prepared to handle
earthquakes.

And Australia, which faces similar
natural hazards to South Africa such
as droughts, fres and foods was hit
by a series of foods in the states
of Queensland and Victoria from
December 2010 to early 2011. Thirty

forced to evacuate from the area. Its
been estimated that it will take months
to rebuild infrastructure damaged by
the waters.
To lessen the impact of such natural
disasters, all countries across the
globe are encouraged to implement
international policies, such as the Hyogo
Framework of Action. The framework
has been adopted by member states of
the United Nations and aims to build the
resistance of nations and communities to
disaster as well as reducing losses that
can hinder a countrys development by
the year of 2015. These international
strategies work along with regional and
national policies to ensure each countrys
preparedness in responding to disasters.
In South Africa, how these disasters
are dealt with, is set out in the
Disaster Management Act of 2000, the
Act recognizes and makes provision
for the various risks and disasters that
can occur with a focus on avoiding and

reducing losses. The Act also lays out
the duties and responsibilities of the
National Disaster Management Centre
(NDMC) which is the main functional
unit for disaster risk management
nationally. The acting head of the
centre, Modiegi Sethusha, explains
that the centres core responsibilities
lie in promoting the development
and implementation of a integrated
disaster risk management, as well as
coordinating, guiding, and developing
frameworks for government disaster
risk management policy and legislation
and their implementation. The centre
also aids with the working together
of the various organs of state in the
event of an emergency.
This cooperation between the
different sectors is crucial to
establishing effective disaster
management efforts. The Department
of Cooperative Governance and
Traditional Affairs, under which the
NDMC falls, not only develops national
policies and legislation with regard to
provinces and local government, it
is also responsible for monitoring the
implementation of various legislations
including the Disaster Management
Act. The Department of Cooperative
Governance and Traditional Affairs
will also aid with the coordination of
support and will play an oversight role
over local and national government
spheres in implementing the Act.
National state departments such as
Water Affairs, Environment, Health and
Social Development are each required
to prepare a disaster management
plan particular to its role and
responsibilities in terms of emergency
response and post-disaster recovery
and rehabilitation. The responsibilities
of local government (the provinces
and municipalities) are similar to
that of the national departments, but
will also require that each province
or municipality anticipate the types
of hazards that are likely to occur in
their own particular location. Local
government is also responsible for
helping with emergency preparedness,
contingency plans and emergency
procedures in the event of a disaster.
How this works in practice, Sethusha
gives the recent droughts in the
Western Cape and Eastern Cape as
an example. In such an event the
Centre acts as a coordinator and
rallies together resources across the
departments to ensure immediate
response and intervention to the

The tsunami that was triggered by the earthquake
in Japan swept away cars, ships and buildings.
affected communities. Some incidents
can be managed by the particular
province with perhaps only technical
support from the Centre required.
Each province she explains, must be
aware of their particular threats they
face, Mpumalanga, North West and
Free State for example are vulnerable
to veld fres while the Western Cape is
particularly vulnerable to heavy rains.
As a result each of these provinces
is expected to remain vigilant in
responding to those threats.
Not many people are aware of
the role that the civil society plays
in responding to disaster locally and
internationally. Non Government
Organisations (NGOs), charities and
the private sector are also important
stakeholders in managing disaster. The
Gift of the Givers Foundation, one of
the largest disaster relief organizations
in Africa, sent teams of search and
rescue specialists to Haiti last year to
help victims of the earthquake. And
the NGO Rescue South Africa assigned
rescue teams to Japan accompanied
by fre service members from various
metros. The work that these rescue
teams is often seen as evidence
of the countrys skill and capacity
in responding to natural and other
disasters.
For the current fnancial year, the
NDMC was allocated a budget of
R1.850 billion to do various relief
work. These funds are transferred to
the municipalities and provinces for
immediate humanitarian relief.
R254 million is allocated to prevention
and mitigation with R600 million
going to post-disaster recovery and
rehabilitation. Training and research
generates and spreads information
about disaster risk management issues,
to encourage disaster management as
a career option. R2 million has been
awarded to study bursaries.
But ultimately, whether the country
is prepared for a natural disaster of
the magnitude of Haiti or Japan, is
dependent on many factors, ranging
from legislation and its proper
implementation as well as proper
communication and cooperation
between the different stakeholders.
As to whether we are prepared,
Sethusha's answer points to team work
and proper planning.The countrys
readiness is dependant on the amount
of work we put in towards disaster/
risk reduction measures and the nature
and magnitude of the incident that
might occur, she says.

T
he protocol that accompanies the
post of the Finance Minister seems
to be something of a constraint for
Pravin Gordhan the activist. Recently, I
watched him address a gathering of small
business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs
at the Soweto campus of the University of
Johannesburg. Judging by his reaction, the
setting must have triggered memories of
his activist days when he used to mobilise
communities to agitate for their basic needs,
an approach he once described as a way to
connect with the masses.
That day in Soweto, Gordhan did
indeed connect with the masses. Free from
the tradition-bound task of delivering
budget speeches, he was in his element.
Though I did not accompany him when he
campaigned for the ruling party in the run-
up to the municipal elections, his face was
always bright and there was a twinkle in his
eye when he described his experiences on
the campaign trail.
If he had his way, he would spend more
time gathering intelligence from the coal
face of public service delivery. Gordhan the
activist lives on in the Finance Minister.
This is not to suggest that Gordhan does
not enjoy his job as Finance Minister, for
he is a master of reinvention especially
when it comes to his poitical career. The
62 years that Gordhan has spent on this
planet can be packaged neatly into seven
phases; student activist, emergent political
activist, underground operative, peace
negotiator, parliamentarian, taxman, and
now Finance Minister.
He has transformed seamlessly from the
one to the next and the activist in him is the
common thread that runs through all seven
phases. Gordhan is the embodiment of
Karl Marxs comment that philosophers
have hitherto only interpreted the world in
various ways; the point is to change it.
Some of the best business leaders are
activists. What is good about them? They
have a passion, insight, a strategic head.
They have the ability to innovate, and the
ability to mobilize people around their
particular idea, the ability to get down to
the production level and learn from it,
Gordhan once said.
The above statement is as good a
description of Gordhan as you will ever get.
Activism is not the only trait though that
has helped Gordhan navigate through life.
His science training continues to shape his
approach to tasks at hand. In the run-up to
the tabling of the 2011/12 national budget
in parliament, Gordhan asked for a schema
of his speech. That was the scientists
approach to speech writing: always breaking
the whole into its constituent parts and then
putting them together again.
A pharmacist by background, Gordhan
seems to approach all challenges this way.
Even when he explains an idea to you, he
breaks it down into its components and
writes it out as if it were a scientifc formula.
It is a trait that Trevor Manuel,
Gordhans predecessor and a man who
also knew him during the struggle days has
also picked up. Says Manuel of Gordhan:
Pravins razor-sharp mind operates in this
truly unique way that allows him to take
a problem, however complex, and then to
dice-and-slice it not to shift the problem out
of focus but to solve it having reduced
it to a few simple component parts. This
is not an attribute that I have witnessed in
anybody else.
But to reduce Gordhans approach only
to that of a scientist would be half the story.
His approach is much more than that. It is
indeed part art, part science.
As Olivier Blanchard, the chief
economist of the International Monetary
Fund (IMF) once put it: Monetary policy
can pretend to be close to science if it can
be conducted using simple and robust rules.
The rules can be formal, or informal. They
may not be perfect, but they have to be
robust, i.e. to do well especially when things
are bad.
Monetary policy must be closer to
art if it is frequently confronted to new,
poorly anticipated and poorly understood
contingencies. In that case, each of these
contingencies requires fast thinking and
having to make decisions, not fully based
on existing research but rather on well
trained intuition.
Though Blanchard was talking about
monetary policy, the point applies to
economic policy making in general.
Blanchards formulation also explains
Gordhans approach to his work.
Born in Durban on April 12 1949 to
a Gujurati-speaking family, Gordhans
political journey began at Sastri College,
the high school where Indian Congress
leaders got their academic grounding. He
cut his political teeth in student politics in
the early 1970s, where he quickly grasped
the difference between romantic political
idealism and hard pragmatism (I have
heard him refer to himself as a progressive
pragmatist), a lesson that continues to shape
his work today.
After graduation, Gordhan worked at
King Edward VIII Hospital in Durban
for seven years as a pharmacist, a job that
provided him with the necessary cover to
engage in political activity.
A number of lessons from his struggle
days continue to inform his approach to his
work today. As an underground operative,
for example, he learned to marshal often
meager resources to achieve his objectives,

an approach that partly explains why he is
the champion of frugality and of the state
doing more things with less.
As a change agent, a role in which he
excelled as Commissioner of the South
African Revenue Service (SARS), Gordhans
way of dealing with the process of change
is informed by Appreciative Inquiry, an
approached developed in the 1980s by David
Cooperrider and Suresh Srivastva.
In essence, Appreciative Inquiry says
that organisations will change in the
direction in which they inquire. So if an
organisation inquires into problems it will
fnd problems, but if it appreciates the best
in itself it will fnd more and more of what
is good in itself which it can then use as the
foundation upon which to build a future by
accentuating the positive.
How would Gordhan describe himself ?
I would call myself very much an organic
person, he says. Ive learnt my skills from
others and from situations and from actual
experience, on the one hand, and from
refection on situations and the experiences
of others, on the other hand.

And it is only proper that the last word
should go to his friend of more than
45 years Zak Yacoob, a Justice of the
Constitutional Court: Pravin has a sense of
integrity which in my view is unsurpassed, a
sense of fairness which I have always found
unnerving and an understanding of the
requirements of the moment which I have
not seen before.
Those are the markers of an activist.

J
ust over a month ago, South
Africans headed to the polls
to vote in what were the
countrys fourth local municipal
elections since the advent of
democracy in 1994. This year
young voters between the ages
of 18 and 29 made up almost 30
percent of the total 23.6 million
on the voters roll nationally. This
is the same demographic that
is facing issues of crime, HIV
and unemployment and will,
this Youth Month be called to
remember the events of June
16 1976 and the contribution
made by the class of 1976 in
bringing about the collapse of the
apartheid regime ultimately giving
every citizen the right to vote.
The high school students
who marched on that day
were opposing an order by the
Bantu Education Department
that Afrikaans had to be used

on an equal basis with English
as the medium of instruction
in secondary schools, an order
the students could not accept
as Afrikaans was seen as the
language of the oppressor.
The march began at various
high schools in Soweto such as
Moletsani, Naledi and Morris
Isaacson High Schools and was
to end at Orlando Stadium,
where the students had planned
to congregate. As planned the
demonstration was initially
peaceful with thousands of
students in school uniform singing
struggle songs and waving
placards as they headed to their

planned destination. When police
learnt of the students plans they
barricaded the route to Orlando
Stadium. Chaos erupted when
police red shots into the crowds
which resulted in panic, rioting
and looting and further protests
across the countrys townships.
Along with Pieterson, almost
600 young students from various
parts of the township died in
skirmishes between students
and police that followed. But
as the rst and youngest to
be killed, and because of the
powerful photograph taken of a
dying Pieterson being carried by
fellow student Mbuyisa Makhubo
with his frightened sister
Antoinette running alongside,
Pieterson came to embody the
tragedy of that day. At the time
the photograph was undeniable
proof to the rest of the world of
the brutality of the apartheid
police and caused outrage
bringing down international
condemnation on the Apartheid
government. Many white South
Africans were also shocked at
the governments actions.
Thirty ve years after that
day, the man responsible for
that picture was bestowed with
national honours by President
Jacob Zuma on April 28 of this
year. Sam Nzima received the
Order of Ikhamanga, which
recognizes South Africans who
excel in arts, culture, literature,
music, journalism and sport,
and joins past winners such as
jazz legend Hugh Masekela and
novelist Alan Paton. According
to Nzima, his photograph tells
the story of what happened.
You dont even need a caption
to see that something terrible
has happened, he says of the
photograph that ended his career
as a photographer after he faced
mounting hostility from the police
for the attention his photograph
garnered across the world.
It is this iconic photograph
that forms part of the entrance
of the Hector Pieterson Museum.
Although the painful politics of
that time are well documented
in the history books and inside
monuments, the museum,
located in Orlando West Soweto
remains one of the best ways
to experience and learn about

museum which was built in 2002
stands in the heart of where the
uprisings took place and only a few
hundred meters from where Pieterson
(after whom the museum is named)
fell after he was gunned down.
Museum director, Kwezi Gule explains
that the purpose of the museum is to
educate visitors on the history of South
Africa and its heritage and to get the
local community involved the activities
of the museum.
From the outside the museum
building is easy to miss, having
been designed to blend in with the
area. The building matches the

sensitive and heart rendering account
of the events of June 16 1976. Words
quoted throughout the memorial like
pride, sacrifce and retribution used
to describe the day echo throughout
the building. Gule explains that the
displays in the museums are meant to
be viewed as a singular narrative and
installation with various mediums such
as photography, video footage, oral
testimonies (you can hear an interview
with charismatic student leader Tsietsi
Mashinini) working together to tell
of the social and political history of
the youth of Soweto and their stories
of bravery and courage shown on
that day. The museum also features
the history and development of the
township of Soweto and its cultural life.
The underlying theme behind the
museum is freedom, Gule says, he
wants people to focus on the ideal
of freedom as espoused in the 1995
Freedom Charter, I want a gathering
of people looking at the notion of
freedom and whether we are living
up to it, he said in an interview
last year. Activities planned at the
museum this Youth Month include
the annual commemoration of the
uprising and wreath laying ceremony
with a proposed march to the Orlando
Stadium which was the original
planned destination back in 1976.

Some Background
The Vice Presidents visit to South
Africa, follows that of Deputy President
Motlanthe to Vietnam last year. In
November last year, the PBF organized
a delegation of about a dozen South
African business people to Ho Chi
Minh City under leadership of South
African Deputy Minister of Water and
Environmental Affairs, Ms Rejoice
Mabudafhasi. The delegation attended
a Water Conference and Exhibition
held in Ho Chi Minh City from 10-12
November last year.
During the visit of the South African
delegation to Vietnam, Deputy Minister
Mabudafhasi and the Co-Convenor
of the PBF, Renier Schoeman, were
invited speakers at the launch of the
South Africa/Vietnam Business Council.
Following closely on the Water
Conference, the Deputy Minister of Trade
and Industry of Vietnam, Mr Le Duong
Quang, brought a delegation to South
Africa toward the end of November
2010. The Deputy Ministers delegation
included his Director-General of the
Africa Division of his Department and
a sixteen person business delegation
representing various business felds.
Amidst arrangements for meetings
with South African business people in
similar felds, the PBF invited the Deputy
Minister and his delegation to attend a
networking breakfast in Johannesburg
at which the guest of honour was ANC
Treasurer-General, Dr Mathews Phosa.
Deputy Minister Le Duong Quang was
warmly welcomed at the function and
addressed the meeting in turn.

he ANC Progressive Business Forum
(PBF) travelled to Chennai, India, for a
trade visit from 13 to 17 November 2010.
Forty-two PBF companies joined the delegation,
accompanied by the Deputy Mayor of Ethekwini,
Cllr Logie Naidoo.
The visit took place exactly 150 years from
when the frst Indians set foot in South Africa.
These Indian poineers hailed from Chennai (then
named Madras). To mark the occasion Deputy
Mayor Naidoo unveiled a plaque in the city
during the PBFs visit.
The frst day in India was spent sightseeing,
and visiting the beautiful, historic buildings in
nearby Tirukkalukkunram, Mammalapuram,
such as cave temples, monolithic shrines, stone
temples, and relief sculptured rock panels.
On Tuesday 16 November, the frst Indo-South
Africa Trade and Investment Seminar, jointly
organised by the PBF and the Confederation of
Indian Industry, was held at the Park Sheraton
Hotel in Chennai. The conference was addressed
by a number of senior representatives from
both countries, including Deputy Mayor
Naidoo and the Principal Secretary, Industries
Department of the Tamil Nadu Government,
Rajeev Ranjan. During the business-to-business
meetings scheduled for the afternoon, over 100
Chennai companies met with the South African
companies in over 200 B2B meetings.
In his opening remarks at the conference, the
PBFs Co-Convenor, Daryl Swanepoel, stressed
the importance of developing mutually benefcial
trade and investment between the two countries.
He said that the sort of trade and investment
that South Africa seeks is trade and investment
that is mutually benefcial to both economies.
It is important that we create two-way traffc
in terms of trade and investment, so that both
sides of the equation beneft economically, that
healthy trade balances are promoted, and that,
through this trade and investment, we help to
address the still unacceptably high levels of
unemployment that both our nations face. He
added that the sort of investment that South
Africa seeks is investment that involves greater
benefciation of its considerable mineral and
other resources prior to them leaving South
African shores, and investment that creates jobs
for the unemployed.
On Wednesday morning, the State Bank of
India hosted the South African delegation for a
business breakfast.

n association with the Cuban
Chamber of Commerce, the ANC
Progressive Business Forum
(PBF) hosted a business forum and
B2B session at the Hotel Nacional
in Havana, Cuba on the 9th of May
2011. Forty PBF businessmen and
women travelled to the island state,
accompanied by South Africas Deputy
Minister of Finance, Hon Nhlanhla
Nene.
120 Cuban companies joined the
conference and participated in the
lively B2B session. In the conference
report compiled after the event it
was established that an encouraging
number of positive business contacts
were made with good prospects for
trade, investment and joint ventures.
The President of the Cuban Chamber
of Commerce, Ms Estrella Madrigal
Valdes and the Co-Convenor of the
PBF, Mr Daryl Swanepoel opened
the conference in which Deputy
Minister Nene and the Hon Antonio,
Luis Carricarte Corona, Cubas Vice-
Minister of MINCEX, also addressed
the conference, prior to an extensive
presentation on the Cuban economy
by Dr Celia Labora, the Head of
International Relations of the Cuban
Chamber of Commerce.
Ms Madrigal pointed to the Cuban
offerings to South Africa of vaccines
against different types of cancer,
projects for the installation of hospitals,
solar heaters, small hydroelectric power
stations, and other products in the
energy sector.
Mr Swanepoel in his opening remarks
said that in order to drive the process
forward more effectively, the PBF
has taken a decision to strengthen
its international desk by setting up
a Cuba-South Africa conduit, a line
of communication directly with the
Cuban Chamber of Commerce. He
said that he was of the frm belief
the strengthening of this connectivity
will make a signifcant contribution in
turning the trade tide between the
two countries.
The Cuban First Deputy Minister
of Foreign Trade and Investment,
Antonio Carricarte, told the conference
that, taking into account the current
economic situation worldwide,
commercial relations should be used as
a means for the peoples development.
South African Deputy Finance
Minister, Nhlanhla Nene, in his speech,
congratulated Cuba on the successful
congress that they recently held and
from which a new leadership was
elected and which resulted in a new
socio-economic update process. He
looked forward to a mutually benefcial
relationship and cooperation between
South Africa and Cuba. Deputy
Minister Nene said that this second
mission organized by the ANC PBF was
evidence of South Africas commitment
towards deepening the longstanding
political and economic relations.

and South Africa, Deputy Minister
Nene said.
The Deputy Minister added
that there was an opportunity to
strengthen economic ties between
the two countries and he believed
that some tangible projects and
investments would materialize from
the engagements which took place
between the South African delegation
and their Cuban counterparts.
Deputy Minister Nene said that the
South African Government was also
considering options with regard to
providing fnancial assistance to Cuba
and that he had been informed that
a technical team would be visiting
Cuba during the latter part of May
during which visit the modalities of the
fnancial assistance would be discussed
with the relevant Cuban counterparts.
The visit by the PBF to Havana took
place in the wake of the National
Congresss approval for the updating
of the Cuban economy, which presents
new and stimulating opportunities for
the Cuban business sector. The PBF
delegates used the exploratory visit
to familiarise themselves with these
changes. A full and comprehensive
overview was outlined to the delegation
during their visit to ICAP at Friendship
House on Tuesday, 10 May.
It was not all work, fun was also had,
with delegates visiting the Old Town of
Havana, with its beautiful architecture
and town squares, music-flled
atmosphere, good food and of course,
rum and Cuban cigars. A visit to the
market saw many a Cuban artefact,
Che Guevara t-shirt and cap, paintings
and Cuban shirts (Guayabera) leave the
Cuban island destined for South Africa.
Flowing from the PBFs visit to Cuba,
the Cuban Chamber of Commerce, with
the co-operation of the PBF, will attend
SAITEX in Johannesburg during July.

he late 1990s saw trade
between China and South
Africa increase dramatically.
And like any businessman worth his
salt, Robin Xu spotted a business
opportunity that he could not let pass.
Since 1998, trade and investment
relations between the two countries
had developed at a rapid rate after the
strengthening of diplomatic ties.
I could see clearly the yearly
increase of trade volume, he says of
the motivation behind his frst shopping
centre. Just last year, China was
Africas biggest trade partner and now
represents 10.4% of the continents
total trade.
It was shortly after noticing this
trade trend in 2002 that Xu began with
construction on the China Mall which is
located in the industrial Crown Mines
area. The shopping centre consists of
420 shops and enables independent
traders to sell their imported wares
directly to the public.
He bought the land at a time when
the area was on a down slide, and had
many others offering to sell him their
land. But now because of his and others
investment, the number of businesses
in the area has increased and property
prices have risen.
Since the completion of China Mall
in 2007, his business has grown to
include the Wheel Shopping Centre in
Durban and renovations are ongoing
at the former High Gate Shopping
Centre in Roodepoort, which has been
renamed China Plaza, and will boast
local chain stores along with Chinese
traders. There are plans to expand to
Cape Town and Nelspruit as well as to
neighbouring countries.
Xu is proud of the wide variety of
products that make their way through
his centre and the different kind of
shopping experience that his centres
offer. Customers, many who are
shop owners, travel from all over the
country to buy goods in bulk to stock
up their shelves.
We are attracting a lot of customers,
as far as Kimberley, Durban and
neighbouring countries such as
Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and
Lesotho, he says of the people that visit
his centre. He explains that because
the products are imported directly from
suppliers in China, the traders are able
to keep their prices at a competitive
level. Xu proudly recalls a visit by the
frst ladys, Bongi Zuma, to the centre
and being able to show her the quality
and variety of the items on sale.
Having been in the country for over
18 years, Xu considers South Africa as
his second home. He frst arrived in the
country in the employ of a state-owned
Chinese company and says the country
was politically and economically, a very
different place then. In 1996 he left that
job to begin working as an entrepreneur.

He credits the countrys political and
economic stability for allowing him to
build and grow a thriving business.
And that it is because he believes that
the country has progressed so much
that foreign investors are willing to do
business in the country.
South Africa benefts too. Xu
employs up to 200 people, from
administrative and security to cleaning
staff. He says he also plays his part in
encouraging others to bring their skills
and technology into the country.
Even with the successes, Xu admits
there is still work to be done in
helping the Chinese community get
better integrated in the local business
environment. He encourages his shop
keepers to learn about the countries
labour laws, policies and regulations.
And pushes others to employ locals, but
admits that sometimes the language
barrier remains a hindrance.
These are the reasons, he explains
that he joined the Progressive Business
Forum (PBF). If we want to enlarge
our business we need a platform,
we need local business societies, he
says about his decision, a year and
a half ago, to become a member. As
one of the frst Chinese members
to join the forum, he says he has
beneftted from the experience of fellow
business owners and the networking
opportunities offered.

n 5 December 2000 several
municipalities and councils that
previously served the Greater
Pretoria Area were integrated into a
new administration, the City of Tshwane
Metropolitan Municipality. These were:

and the Eastern District Council. The
new entity covered 2 198 km and
housed 2,2 million people.
This ushered in an executive type of
city management aimed at streamlining
decision-making and improving service
delivery. On that day the various
municipalities joined forces in breaking
down the boundaries that had divided
their land and people for so long. As
a Category A municipality, the City
of Tshwane had an executive mayor
and 152 councillors, of whom 76 were
proportionally elected and 76 were ward
councillors. The frst council meeting
took place on 12 December 2000.

delivery, which saw Tshwane being
divided into fve regions so as to
strengthen service delivery and ensure
coordination.
On 28 May 2008 the Member of
the Executive Committee for Local
Government and Housing in Gauteng
published a directive in the Government
Gazette through a section 12 notice that
the City of Tshwane and the Metsweding
District Municipality, including Dinokeng
tsa Taemane (Cullinan) and Kungwini
(Bronkhorstspruit), were to merge. This
was in line with the Gauteng global city
region strategy to reduce the number of
municipalities in Gauteng to four or less
metros by 2016.
The new Tshwane is the single largest
metropolitan municipality in South Africa,
covering an area of 6 368 km. It has
105 wards, 210 councillors and about
2,5 million residents, and is divided into
7 regions, whose offces will eventually
deliver a full spectrum of services to the

on 8 March 2011, the Executive

Metsweding merger would bring
about many challenges, including
the integration of systems, different
organisational cultures, unequal levels
of service, backlogs, increasing debt
and incomparable collection levels.
However, the merger would also bring
a precious opportunity to diversify the
revenue base, to include, for instance,
ecotourism, minerals benefciation, and
urban farming, forestry and fshing. The
additional land would allow the City of
Tshwane to carry out more projects that
require land, and to participate more
meaningfully in agricultural activities,

The merger is built on much more

Interesting facts about Tshwane
Tshwane is named after Chief Tshwane who settled here with his followers in
the mid-1700s. Early African inhabitants of the area also referred to the area
as Tshwane.
Tshwane has a diverse and rich natural, historical and cultural heritage. Its
warm and pleasant climate makes it an ideal tourist destination all year round.
It is also a leader in the felds of manufacturing, technology, electronics,
defence design and construction.
As the capital of South Africa, Tshwane provides accommodation to more
than 100 embassies, trade delegations, consulates and non-government
organisations. This gives it a cosmopolitan favour.
Besides being regarded as the knowledge centre of South Africa due to its
impressive concentration of academic, research, technology and scientifc
institutions, the city is developing into a sports mecca owing to its extensive
sports infrastructure and moderate climate.
Places that are worth visiting in Tshwane include the Union Buildings, the
offcial seat of the South African government since 1913 and the place where
the countrys frst democratically elected president, Nelson Mandela, was
inaugurated on 10 May 1994; the Palace of Justice, which was completed
in 1900, but was initially used as a military hospital by British forces that

co-accused would receive their sentences; and the State Theatre, the National
Zoological Gardens and the Voortrekker Monument.

W
hen Glamour Girl Gerry was
diagnosed with tuberculosis,
she was fying high on her
increasing popularity and media success
and had just started hosting the African
version of the popular reality show Big
Brother. It was at this very moment
that she suddenly fell ill.
The frst thing Gerry had to do was
to locate a TB clinic in her district so
she could start her 6-month treatment.
Then she realized that even though it
was only fve minutes from her home,
she had never heard of it because
it was located into such a remote
place. This was also at this time that
she realized that TB was a disease
that often remained hidden. Being
confronted with the stigma associated
with TB, especially in a country like
South Africa where co-infection is
frequent and some people suffering
from TB are also infected with HIV, had
a signifcant impact on her life.
A personal battle with TB
When her TB status became public,
there were many rumours in the press
that she was also living with HIV. But
because Gerry was no ordinary TB
patient but also a celebrity, she was
asked to be on the cover of a popular
womens magazine with the headline:
The positive face of TB.
This was the turning point for Gerry.
She realized that even though she
was about to fully recover from the
disease, she could not ignore the
plight of the thousands of people in
her country that were affected by TB.
Because they are not celebrities, these
people are even far more affected by
stigma and discrimination, fuelling
further infection since they mostly
live in poorer areas just like the place
Gerry came from originally.
I grew up in a township near Cape
Town, she remembers. This was at
a place and a time when the work of
the Red Cross impacted our lives. This
work was crucial and fundamental
and it certainly showed me the way.
Organizations like the Red Cross creates
activists just like me, Gerry adds.
Bringing the message worldwide
Another key encounter for her was
when she met with representatives
of the Lilly multi-drug resistant
(MDR) TB Partnership, an alliance
of more than 20 public and private
organizations (including the IFRC) that
have combined forces to respond to
the rapidly growing threat of MDR-TB.
Thanks to Lilys support, Gerry was
able to bring her message abroad. We
met with her during her short stop in
Geneva before heading to Cancun,
Mexico to participate in meetings
with members of the Lilly MDR-TB
Partnership from around the world.
Of course we need to lobby
governments for them to do more to
reduce TB infection and the stigma that
goes with it. However, governments
cannot do everything so we need to
get the work done and this involves
community members as well, she says.
Gerry especially believes more
should be done in terms of the sharing
of information amongst the most
vulnerable groups and the necessity for
people to get tested.
It is crucial to remember that one
TB patient can infect 10 to 15 people
so it is vital to get treatment and follow
it until the end. After all, if treated on
time, TB is curable so reaching the
groups that are not left behind by
mainstream information campaigns is
key to limit infection, explains Lasha
Goguadze, the IFRCs Senior Offcer
in charge of the TB global programme
who welcomed Gerry at the IFRC
Geneva Secretariat.
Bringing psychosocial support and
ensuring patients have enough food is
also essential as this is another major
part of the recovery process. These
are some of the tasks Red Cross and
Red Crescent volunteers implement
all over the world, including in South
Africa, he concludes.

successful career as a media and public relations personality as well as a TV

What challenges do you
play in the industry?
Our industry is highly
competitive and with delayed
roll out of capital projects
as well as lack of project
funding, the industry is
challenged. With the bulk of
our work being generated by
Government, the ambiguous
and unclear procurement

is paramount.

made worse by longer than 60 days
cash convention cycles for client
bodies. This challenge however has

Selfessness and seeing other human
beings succeed. Project realisation

motivates me.
How do you relax?
By spending time at home with my
family and listening to great African
jazz. I am also a staunch Orlando
Pirates fan, so watching football is
serious business!
Do you have a role-model or
someone who inspires you?

am inspired by Richard Maponya and
Sandile Zungu.
What is the best business lesson
you have ever learnt?
Seeing the bigger picture in all aspects
of business operations and keeping
focussed on achieving the objectives.
What are your future plans for
the business?
Continue to nurture and maintain
the clients we have whilst venturing
in other areas such as mining
infrastructure development and
other PPP Turnkey projects. We
mainly employ young engineers and
technicians. We intend empowering
more youth through learnerships and
internship programmes which will
increase the skills pool in the industry.
What words of wisdom do you
have for other business leaders?
Integrity is all you have when all
is lost. Strive to maintain unequal
integrity in the pursuit of business

on them through up skilling. Ensure

H
unadi Manyatsa is the
Executive Director of Business
Development at Anooraq
Resource Corperation.
Tells us about your company.
Anooraq Resources Corporation is a
black controlled mineral resources
company with a primary listing on
the Toronto Stock Exchange venture
Bourse (TSXV), with secondary
listings on the American
Exchange (AMEX) now
part of the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE),
and the Johannesburg
Securities Exchange
(JSE).
What role do you play
in the business?
I am the Executive
Director of Business
Development. I am
responsible for our merger
and acquisition strategy
which will see us growing
and diversifying our
asset base to generate
greater returns for our
stakeholders. I am
also fully responsible
for Supply Chain
Management.
What challenges
do you face in the
industry?
There is still a huge gap
between the full economic beneft our
mineral resources are able to deliver
to our country and the majority of its
people, to what it actually delivers and
mostly to a minority.
The potential to exploit fully the extent
of our mineral wealth is signifcant,
which if done in a responsible and
equitable manner, can go a long way
to addressing South Africas socio-
economic problems.

In what way has being a member
of PBF added to your company?
The networks we have access to have
proved invaluable.
How has your company
weathered the economic down-
turn?
It has been a challenge which was made
worse by the fact that the transaction
that led to Anooraq becoming an
operational mine occurred during the
economic downturn when platinum
prices took a severe beating.
It became important to establish
strategies that were fexible and
realistic in responding to the changing
environment. So capital expansion for
instance focused on asset acquisitions
that would enhance the current
production levels rather than focusing
into new, riskier areas. Optimising our
production methods and effciencies to
extract more volumes also became very
critical.
What motivates you?
I have been fortunate and blessed in
many ways and I am passionate about
transferring the skills, knowledge and
experience I have gained towards the
transformational goals of our country.
I am passionate about achieving and
maintaining excellence in what I do. I
am further motivated to be the kind of
individual who deserves the admiration
and unconditional love I receive from
my son every day.

HUNADI MANYATSA
Executive Director of Business Development at
Anooraq Resource Corperation.
How do you relax?
I love to read and spend quality time
with my family and friends. I also go to
the spa at least once a month.
Do you have a role-model or
someone who inspires you?
Yes. There are two amazing business
leaders who have had a major infuence
in my life and career. Tumelo Motsisi,
my current boss and Executive
Chairman of Anooraq, as well as Lucky
Montana, Group CEO of PRASA and
my previous boss. I fnd them to be
visionary, transformational leaders
whose support and belief in me has
been extremely humbling. I continue to
learn so much from them.

What is the best business lesson
you have ever learnt?
The soft skills are as important as the
technical and strategic abilities. The
situation needs to be analysed before
determining whether a diplomatic or
more direct approach is warranted.
It is about winning the war, not
necessarily each battle.

What are your future plans for
the business?
It is to grow the business organically
and through asset acquisitions, and
diversifying into other key mineral
resources. The aim is to become the
leading and one of the most proftable
mining houses in the country.
What words of wisdom do you
have for other business leaders?
When one is bestowed with power and
responsibility, one is in a position to
impact signifcantly and positively on
the development of the country and
the individual lives of people. That is
not a responsibility to be taken lightly.
You should not lose focus on the moral
and ethical leadership principles that
will ensure you leave a lasting legacy
that achieves this.
What advice do you have for those
wanting to enter the industry?
Education is key, so you would need
to obtain the relevant academic
qualifcations.
If you work hard and achieve great
results you can apply and hopefully
be accepted into a mining house on
qualifying.
If you are already an established
professional in a different industry,
it will be important to gain as much
knowledge as possible about the
industry and attend functions to
meet its key players. Then you should
market yourself by establishing which
specifc skills you possess that would
make you valuable and in demand.

sivhanzhi Mathaba is the
Executive Producer of Asi-B
Films.
Tell us about your company?
Asi-B Films is a flm and multi-media
company that was established
12 years ago with the vision to
AsivhAnzhi MAthAbA
Executive Producer of Asi-B Films.
create art that made
business sense. We
specialize in feature
flms, documentaries,
corporate productions,
wedding flms and
animation. Everything
we do be it flm, a
corporate function or a
wedding, we approach
with a storytelling and
creative angle. So when
you call us to shoot
your wedding, we dont
come to just record an
event, we come to tell a
love story of two people
coming together.
With corporate
productions, we
conceptualize a vision
based on our clients
desires, and use our
creative touch to make
the corporate video
or event, unique and
special.
What role do you
play in the business?
I am an Executive Producer, but since
my background is in directing, I still
do a lot of that too. I would love to
do more, but since we are not just
artists but business people as well, the
Executive Producer side of me handles
the business aspects of the company,
but the creative side of me ensures
that I overlook all the vigorous creative
quality checks that our projects go
through before we hand them over to
the public or our clients.
What challenges do you face in
the industry?
It has taken us 12 years to reach where
we are today and I can tell you that
success has not been easy. The main
challenge we faced initially was to turn
flm making into a proftable business.
Many investors in the country dont
know this yet, but flms can be very
proftable and even though it is not a
get-rich-quick scheme, with patience
and hard work, you will see your money.
Every investor we have has made
the projected profts and many have
made even more proft that initially
anticipated. To date we have never
made a loss on any of our projects! We
employ about 17 people right now and
sustaining that needs capital which is
what we have managed to make, but
getting investments would make our job
not only easier, but more proftable.
How has being a member of PBF
added to your company?
PBF has given me the platform to
mingle with infuential people and
potential investors. This is invaluable
because I have been able to explain
the concept of flm investing which
many have taken to and we have
formed working relationships ever
since. To date, many members of the
103
PBF are people who I do business
with, whether its through creating
corporate productions, weddings or
as new investors. We are currently
working on a world class reality show
that is the result of a relationship
formed through the PBF network.

How has your company
weathered the economic down-
turn?
It didnt hit us as hard as it has with
other businesses. The fact that Asi-B
Films is involved in many different
areas has given us the opportunity
to cushion the blow when one area
fails to perform. We felt it hardest
with corporations which held fewer
functions, but the fact is that there
are always stories tol be told. We
pride ourselves on being current and
relevant so when we were in the
recession, stories about the recession
were the most relevant. At the same
time, weddings happen come rain or
shine, economic boom or gloom and
we always had someones love story
to tell.
What motivates you?
Love and passion for what we do.
When I fnished high school and
decided to take the flmmaking route
everyone said thats it was a bad
decision especially because I was a
young Venda boy who wanted to go
into a relatively unknown feld.
So I had to have a lot of heart and
passion in order to endure the
struggles that followed and, without
that as a motivating force, I dont
think I would have come to this point.
How do you relax?
I dont remember the last time I took
a holiday. But day to day, I enjoy going
to the gym which helps me release
tension and get my mind off things. I
also watch flms avidly and even though
its not always relaxing since the
flmmaker side of me is either learning
new things or being critical, I still fnd it
a very relaxing thing to do.
Do you have a role-model or
someone who inspires you?
A lot of people have inspired me.
Jesus, he knew what he was here for
and everything I do has to come back
to my purpose in this world. I also
really look up to Spike Lee and John
Singleton who entered the industry at
a time when black flmmakers where
not making an impact of signifcant
consequence on the industry. Johns
flm Boyz n the Hood was what made
me look at flm in a different light and
decide to become a flmmaker.
What is the best business lesson
that you have ever learnt?
Patience, there is no quick success. If
patience is coupled with hard work then
you can begin to realize your vision.
What are your future plans for
the business?
I would like to see Asi-B Films as one
of the top 10 brands in the world.
The same way Apple is a brand, I
want Asi-B Films to be a brand. And
with the same focus to detail we will
get there. I try not to set too many
deadlines for my dreams since they
can discourage you if you dont meet
them and make you lose momentum.
But with that vision in mind, I just
keep working towards the dream.
What words of wisdom do you
have for other business leaders?
There are no short cuts. Hard work
cannot be replaced. Passion helps
to sustain you through the diffcult
times and the glamorous part of it is
momentary. For the most part you are
in the trenches and that is where not
only your character is built, but where
your heart is defned.

What advice do you have for those
who want to enter the industry?
We need more flmmakers who are
not only talented in the art, but the
producing side as well. No one individual
can tell all the stories that need to be
told and the more voices we have the
more diverse we will become and that
will beneft all of us.
We have the ability to make an
exportable product that will have our
own unique touch to it, but still carrying
universal appeal. The South African
trade mark needs to come stronger
on to our work and the more people
enter the industry the quicker we will be
able to fnd our voice and not just use
concepts borrowed from Hollywood.
As long as investors being to
understand that this industry has a lot
of potential and it is not as scary as
some people think it is we will grow to
heights we could have never imagined.

RETHEA BREYTENBACH
General Manager of Finance at Milnex151
104
What challenges do you play in
the industry?
Our business is service orientated. Our
reputation relies solely on the level of
service we can provide. We strongly
believe that our business is only as
good as our last service delivery. As
a result, its always an uphill battle to
provide services of the highest quality.
In what way has being a member
of PBF added to your company?
We have only been a member
for a short while, but already we
have benefted from the regular
communications we receive, especially
regarding products and services
offered by other PBF members. It has
broadened the scope for procurement
options.
How has your company
weathered the economic down-
turn?
I think every business felt the crunch
and I would be less than honest if I
said it was all smooth sailing for us.
Having said that, our business was
extremely resilient during this trying
time and we are very lucky that the
diverse nature of our services has
contributed to keeping head above
water.
What motivates you?
I am a strong believer in humanity
and the human spirit. I draw many
an inspiration from people who have
overcome adverse situations and
triumphed despite having the odds
stacked against them.
How do you relax?
I enjoy spending time with my family,
they always manage to make me laugh
and divert my attention away from the
stressful corporate life.
Do you have a role-model or
someone who inspires you?
Positive people. All things considered,
life is hard. We are bombarded with
news of escalating crime, job losses,
fnancial hardships, dreaded diseases
and the like. It is very easy to fall
into a rut of negativity and despair.
I believe that positive people are a
very valuable and rare commodity that
needs to be treasured.
What is the best business lesson
you have ever learnt?
That human capital is your biggest
asset. Successful businesses are not
made by money, large contracts or
tangible assets. Your wealth is not
measured by the amount of zeros in
your nett proft, but by the state of
your employees. Taking care of your
personnel must always take top priority.
What are your future plans for
the business?
I have always been weary of sudden
expansion. Its easy to lose control
and focus, and more importantly, to
lose the personal touch our clients
have become accustomed to. Our long
term goals include gradual expansion
of our scope to other provinces and
diversifying our business functions to
include a larger range of services.
What words of wisdom do you
have for other business leaders?
Make time for yourself and your loved-
ones. Its very easy to be consumed
by the corporate industry, there is the
constant need to do better and be more
competitive. Spending time with your
family and friends takes the edge off.
What advice do you have for those
wanted to enter the industry?
Be tough and determined, but
considerate and caring. Knowledge is
power; therefore know your industry,
your own business and that of your
competitors. Be prepared to re-invent
yourself and your business constantly.
L
azarus Mphasane
is the Group CEO
of MFS Retirement
Advisory Services.
Tell us about your
company.
Our company started from
humble beginnings in 1996
after we identifed a need in
the retirement industry. We
realized that many people
were contributing religiously
to a pension or a provident
fund, believing that one
day this fund would look
after them on retirement,
only to discover at the
end of it - that they had not
understood the fund rules,
never received any beneft
statements, pre-retirement
counseling or any updates
on their benefts, let alone
advice on how to plan and
implement their retirement
beneft.
What role do you play in the
business?
We educate people about pensions,
and unpack complex funds and
taxation rules as well as highlighting
the various pros and cons. We then
show members different options
available to them on their retirement
benefts.
We also conduct forums for members
on their pension fund rules and
benefts, especially GEPF and prepare
members fnancially prior to their
retirement.
What challenges do you face in
the industry?
Our members, and indeed the general
public, are clueless about benefts. I
believe that HR personnel continue to
mislead and advise people incorrectly
about their pension benefts.
I know of benefciaries who waited
up to 26 years for their death pension
benefts to be paid and members
waiting up to 10 years for payment
after retirement to receive their

pension benets. There is a problem
with Pension Fund Administrators
and HR personnel closing the door
communication knowing full well that
they deprive fund members objective
independent advice on retirement
planning.
In what way has being a member
of PBF added to your company?
It has introduced our companys brand
to many government and parastatal
ofcials.
How has your company
weathered the economic down-
turn?
It has been tough; weve seen many
companies closing their doors.
We are fortunate that all our funds are
being administrated by reputable asset
management companies.
As MFS, we always take a very
prudent and cautious investment view
regarding our clients pension monies.
What motivates you?
The plight of our people; retirees are
not informed enough about their rights
and benets and then not looked after
properly when they become pensioners.
How do you relax?
I am a passionate Golfer.
Do you have a role-model or
someone who inspires you?
Madiba.
What is the best business lesson
you have ever learnt?
Do it yourself and do it today.
What are your future plans for
the business?
We would like to see the Brand
MFS Retirement Advisory Service
synonymous with pension benets.
South Africans should think rst of
MFS before accessing their pension
benets. We would like to see our
business expanding to all provinces
and beyond our borders.
What words of wisdom do you
have for other business leaders?
Do unto others as you would like
them to be done unto you. Also, a
fundamental pillar of your business is
your clients; grow together with your
clients because a bird in hand is worth
two in the bush.
The words of Robin Sharma are also
worth remembering. The pristine
reputation that took you decades to
build could be torn down in 60 seconds
of bad judgment. To show leadership in
business (and life) today, its mission-
critical to be radically ethical. No
dishonorable move goes unnoticed.
What advice do you have for
those wanting to enter the
industry?
Study and comply, be trustworthy and
honest with clients. And always think
about the long term benet for your
country in all your endeavors.

A message from the
ANC Parliamentary
Chief Whip
O
ur South African democracy
is both representative and
participatory. The ANC believes
that development is not only about
the delivery of basic services to a
passive citizenry. The people must
be involved and participate in the
legislative processes and development
of programmes aimed to beneft
them. In taking this approach the ANC
seeks to give effect to the principle of
participatory democracy which requires
us to take parliament to the people.
The ANC defned the fourth parliament
as an activist parliament, responsive,
effcient and effective peoples tribune.
One-stop centre parliamentary
constituency offces
Constituency work is at the centre of
the work of an activist parliament as
it serves as an opportunity for public
representatives to interact with the
people through local constituency and
public participation forums. We have
therefore restructured our constituency
offces to make them one-stop centre
parliamentary constituency offces which
bring together public representatives
(MPs, MPLs and Councillors) under one
roof to promote policy co-ordination
and integration of programmes for
community outreach. Satellite offces
will be established where necessary
to ensure that we reach out to the
remotest rural areas of our country.
The one-stop centre PCOs will ensure
that community issues obtained by
public representatives (including MPs,
MPLs and Councillors) are formalised
in parliament, legislatures and councils
and raised with the executive for
consideration and response in all the
three spheres of government. The
ANC will ensure that the separation of
powers is effected at the local levels to
enhance robust oversight. We will then
resource our PCOs, appoint competent
administrators and researchers. This
means that we need to resource these
PCOs adequately, staff them with
capable people and train the current
staff, and develop better management
and co-ordination systems as PCOs
are the face of parliament within
communities.
PBF Procurement Directory
Last year we supported the frst
issue of this useful ANC publication,
the Progressive Business Forum
Procurement Directory and its
utilization in our PCOs across the
length and breadth of South Africa.
It plays an unique role in interfacing
parliament as institution, ANC party
leaders at provincial and local level
and supportive businessmen in every
corner of our country.
We once again urge them all to
make use of this publication and in
so doing strengthening a successful
and progressive partnership between
parliament, our business supporters and
our party, the ANC.

ohannesburg: On 30 November and 2 December 2010 the Progressive Business Forum held its annual year-end
functions at the Auckland Park campus of the Johannesburg Country Club and Coastlands on the Ridge Hotel in Durban
respectively.

to hear the ANC Treasurer General, Dr Mathews Phosa give an enlightening speech on the progress made governing the
country in 2010, and the way forward in 2011.
The speech included some frank acknowledgements of the challenges faced, but also provided an in depth look at the
ideas and reasoning that are being used in the ANC to address these challenges. The audience was encouraged to add
their thoughts, queries and personal experiences, thereby deepening the discourse between the ANC and the public.
In Johannesburg the PBF was honoured to also have the Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr Le
Duong Quang attending the breakfast and making a short speech emphasising the growing trade links between S.A. and
Vietnam. Also in attendance was the active Vietnamese Ambassador to South Africa, H.E. Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung.

the reins of the newly formed PCF Ombuds Offce and the projects she will be driving through the Progressive Citizens
Forum.A networking opportunity for the PBF members followed both event as well as a chance to personally speak with Dr
Phosa, Ms Mthembi-Mahanyele and the PBF Co-Convenors.

Dynamic Tendering training, Johannesburg,
Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth
F
rom between February 22nd and March 3rd 2011 the Progressive Business Forum held four training events in
Johannesburg, Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth. The subject of this training was Dynamic Tendering, presented by
Jan and Lesley Coetzee of Makarios.
This series of workshops dealt with the tricky and often confusing process of applying for, and receiving tenders.
Specifcally the course was broken into the following; introduction and course overview, foundations of the tendering process,
the tender process and support to the tender process.
Jan outlined the process, the pitfalls, and the best strategies for ensuring that businesses create advantages for themselves
out of tendering. He also brought his extensive experience of tendering, both as a business owner and as a business facilitator
to the attendees, who also shared their own experiences with the groups.
These workshops were exceptionally well attended and well received and the PBF must thank the following venues for their
excellent support; Country Club Johannesburg, Coastlands on the Ridge in Durban, The Riverside Golf and Conference Club in
Cape Town and The Venue in Port Elizabeth.
Finally it must be noted that the Port Elizabeth leg was the frst event held in the City, which is the home of the PBFs newest
branch, with many more to come.

T
he ANCs Progressive Business Forum (PBF) met in Cape Town on 29 March 2011 with the China Council for the
Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT).

the coordination of a number of trade exhibitions and fairs in China, as well as the facilitation and enhancement of trade
delegation visits between the two countries.
Acknowledging the substantial work already done by the PBF, the Secretary-General of the CCPIT, encouraged the Co-
Convenors to continue their work on behalf of the ANC in China and South Africa. For its part, the PBF thanked the Secretary-
General for the earnest and dedicated work done to enhance and expand trade ties in South Africa. Both sides undertook to

include exchanging two-way trade delegations between the two countries and acting as conduits in order to establish contacts
between South African and Chinese enterprises wishing to trade in the two countries.
As members of BRICS, South Africa and China are committed to exploring greater economic synergy and accordingly, the
CCPIT and the PBF will strengthen its people-to-people contact programme in the economic and trade and investment felds.

parts and manufacture. Changchun is far and away the largest automobile manufacturing centre in China, leading to its
nicknames as "the Detroit of China.
The PBF arranged the visit of the Mayor and his delegation, starting with a breakfast meeting with the Co-Convenor of
the PBF, Daryl Swanepoel, in Cape Town early on Saturday morning on 2 April.
This meeting was followed by others arranged by the PBF, and which took place in Johannesburg. The delegation also

and related industries.
The Mayor of Changchun was also able to meet his South African counterpart, the Executive Mayor of Johannesburg, Mr
Amos Mosondo.
The visit by the Mayor of Changchun paved the way for a subsequent visit which will be made by Changchun to South
Africa before the end of this year and which will be led by the Deputy Mayor of Changchun.

would be the great love of her life,
Walter Sisulu. Sisulu was an ANC activist
as well as its former general secretary
and president. He was her introduction
to political activism. Together they had
ve children; Max, Vuyisile, Mlungisi,
Zwelakhe, Lindiwe and Nonkululeko.
Ma Sisulu was commended as a
struggle hero and politics was a large
part of her life. She was involved in
womens organizations, and joined the
ANC Womens League in the 1940s.
She became its deputy president when
the organization was re-launched in
1990. She also assisted in the formation
the Federation of SA women in 1954
and the launch of the Freedom Charter
the following year. On August 9 1956,
she was part of a march of 20,000
women with activists Helen Joseph,
Lillian Ngoyi and Dorothy Nyembe, to
the Union Buildings in Pretoria. The
march was in protest of the pass laws
and government oppression. It was on
this march that the powerful slogan
Wathint Abafazi, wathint imbokodo!
(You strike a woman, you strike a rock)
was immortalized.
In 1964 when her husband was
sentenced to life on Robben Island,
she was banned for ve years and
placed under house-arrest. With
her husband in prison, she was left
alone to care and provide for their
ve children and her late sisters-in-

laws children. Ma Sisulu herself was
constantly in and out of jail.
She continued working as a nurse
until her retirement in 1983 at the
age of 65. She remained politically
active and in 1983 she was elected
co-president of the United Democratic
Front (UDF). Her restrictions were lifted
on October 1989, and her husband was
nally released from jail. He had spent
25 years in custody on Robben Island.
His return in 1989 was celebrated
by many South Africans, but especially
Ma Sisulu who was nally reunited her
husband. The couple, who had remained
close through letters they sent each
other, had 15 years of normal married
life before she was widowed. Walter
Sisulu died in 2003 at the age of 90.
They were married for 59 years.
In 1994, she was elected to the rst
democratic Parliament; she served
until retiring four years later. For her
85th birthday in 2003, she and Nelson
Mandela opened the Walter Sisulu
Pediatric Cardiac Centre for Africa in
Johannesburg, which was named after
her late husband. She was a trustee for
the centre and helped raise funds for the
centre. She also founded the Albertina
Sisulu Multi-Purpose Resource Centre
founded under the Albertina Sisulu
Foundation in Orlando the same year.
The last years of her life were spent
getting involved in several charities. In
2004 she was voted 57th in the SABC3s
Great South Africans. She was also
honoured for her commitment to the
struggle and social work when the World
Peace Council in Basel, Switzerland,
elected her president of the council.
On the news of her death, the ANC
paid tribute to Ma Sisulu, saying in a
statement following her death: While
the family has lost a mother, a grand-
mother and a great grand-mother,
the ANC and the country have lost an
irreplaceable leader, a role model and
a constant reminder of dedication and
selessness. She embodied grace and
humility. Speaking of the sacrices
that she made in the struggle against
apartheid the party said: She inspired
a generation of leaders who have since
swelled the ranks of the democratic
movement and our government. To us
she has left huge footprints that track
our history of suffering, and resilience
under immeasurable harassment and
dehumanization under apartheid

President Jacob Zuma pays special tribute to the late
Mama Albertina Sisulu
A matriarch and a nurse by profession, Mama Sisulu was one of the
foremost mothers of the nation and the last of the colossuses of the
struggle for the liberation of South Africa.
Mama Sisulu has over the decades been a pillar of strength not only for
the Sisulu family but also the entire liberation Movement as she reared,
counselled, nursed and educated most of the leaders and founders of the
democratic South Africa, said President Zuma.
While we mourn her loss, we must thank her most profoundly for
the seless service to all South Africans and humanity at large, for her
generosity of spirit and for teaching the nation humility, respect for human
dignity and compassion for the weak, the poor and the downtrodden, said
the President.
A former president of the massive United Democratic Front and together
with her late husband, Walter Sisulu, Mama Sisulu dedicated her entire
adult life to the struggle for liberation in South Africa, in the process
enduring decades of banishment, detention, humiliation and ultimately
exile, where the Sisulu spent most of their lives as ambassadors and
leaders of the African National Congress.
South Africa remains eternally grateful and indebted to this stalwart of
the liberation and an assuming leader of all races of our people. On behalf
of government and the people of South Africa, we would like to convey
our deepest condolences to the Sisulu family and thank them profusely
for dedicated their daughter, mother and grandmother to the service of
humanity, President Zuma said.

problems with local aggregate used in asphalt. Harsco developed a steel
slag surfacing solution - lab tests and site trials were undertaken in

usiness has a crucial role to play
in the reconstruction of South
Africa, ANC treasurer general
Mathews Phosa said.
When I say this, I also mean that
the ANC government should increase
its interaction with business on matters
of policy that impact on the day to day
management of businesses, he told
delegates at a Progressive Business
Forum lunch.
Job creation is a crucial issue in
South Africa today and the most
important issue that we should
address going forward with our
economic policy. I also believe that our
government has learnt a number of
lessons in the recent past.
We should be a listening
government that interacts
passionately and regularly with
all our constituencies and non-
constituencies. We should be a
participative government that works
not only for the people but with
the people. We should also be a
transparent government that should be
accountable for what we do as was the
case in the recent local government
elections, Phosa said.
The local government election was
now over and all should now look to
the future and not the past.
I want to plead that we take a
notion and principle of reconciliation
further so that we also reconcile across
party-political alliances to make South
Africa a better place to live in.
I want to reiterate what I have said
on numerous occasions: South Africa
belongs to all who live in it and not only
some of us. In this denition I include
all minorities whether they are of race,
culture or language, he said.
Phosa added: Our aim should be on
increased service delivery on all three
levels of government. If we get our
service delivery structures in place it
will also make a substantial contribution
to sustainable job creation.
In summary, let us walk away from
everything that divides us, and has
divided us in the recent past. Let us
make service delivery and job creation
our over-arching and non-partisan
goals, he said.
