As we conclude our 1st week of GNF, the new energy is palpable and we are on the cusp of greatness, this time for sure!
Interestingly the sky did not fall in, the crowds did not take to the streets en masse, as forecast by some – this is further proof of our resilience as a nation.
We are working together in co-operation and collaboration to get dear South Africa to become the true Rainbow nation again.
To keep the momentum going, please RSVP to our function on Wednesday 26th June, when Nedbank economist, Crystal Huntley will throw light on what the GNU means to us as exporters and industry stakeholders – this is an event not to be missed!
We have incredible things in the pipeline with another exciting evening to close of our current financial year – so please diarise Monday 29th July for this auspices occasion.
