We will be remembering the life of one of the most remarkable leaders this continent and indeed the world have produced. We will recount Madiba’s long walk to freedom, his wisdom, his unfailing humility, his abiding compassion and his essential integrity.

  • South Africa Political Snapshot New ANC President Ramaphosa’S Mixed Hand Holds Promise for South Africa’S Future
    South Africa Political Snapshot New ANC President Ramaphosa’s mixed hand holds promise for South Africa’s future South Africa’s ruling party, the African National Congress, yesterday (20 December) concluded its 54th National Conference at which it elected a new leadership. South African Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa was announced the ANC’s new leader against a backdrop of fast-deteriorating investor confidence in the country. The new team will likely direct the ANC’s leadership of the country for the next five years and beyond. Mr Ramaphosa’s victory is not complete. The election results have been the closest they have been of any ANC leadership election in recent times. The results for the top six leaders of the ANC (Deputy President, National Chairperson, Secretary-General, Treasurer-General and Deputy Secretary-General) and the 80-member National Executive Committee (NEC - the highest decision-making body of the party between conferences) also represent a near 50-50 composition of the two main factions of the ANC. Jacob Zuma, Mr Ramaphosa’s predecessor, still retains the presidency of South Africa’s government (the next general election is still 18 months away). It enables Mr Zuma to state positions difficult for the new ANC leadership to find clawback on, and to leverage whatever is left of his expanded patronage network where it remains in place. A pointed reminder of this was delivered on the morning the ANC National Conference commenced, when President Zuma committed the government to provide free tertiary education for students from homes with combined incomes of below R600 000 – an commitment termed unaffordable by an expansive judicial investigation, designed to delay his removal from office and to paint him as a victim in the event it may be attempted.

The report is available in printed and electronic formats and is presented in two volumes: • Volume 1: Integrated Report is a narrative on major development during the year combined with key statistics that indicate value generated in various ways. • Volume 2: Annual Financial Statements contains the sections on corporate governance and delivery against key performance indicators, in addition to the financial statements. 2018 is the second year in which SANRAL has adopted the practice of integrated reporting, having previously been guided solely by the approach adopted in terms of the Public Finance Management Act (PFMA). The agency has attempted to demonstrate the varied dimensions of its work and indicate how they are strategically coherent. It has continued to comply with the reporting requirements of the PFMA while incorporating major principles of integrated reporting. This new approach is supported by the adoption of an integrated planning framework in SANRAL’s new strategy, Horizon 2030. In selecting qualitative and quantitative information for the report, the agency has been guided by Horizon 2030 and the principles of disclosure and materiality.

  • Ambassador Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo 16 September 1947 – 20 January 2019
    SPECIAL OFFICIAL FUNERAL SERVICE FOR Ambassador Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo 16 September 1947 – 20 January 2019 Saturday, 26 January 2019 Obituary of Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo Ambassador Dumisani Shadrack Kumalo was born in Kwambunda village, on the banks of the Blood River in Kingsley, KwaZulu-Natal, to Khelina Kumalo (née Mbatha) and Andries Kumalo on 16 September 1947. He was the fifth child of 11 siblings. After the family moved to Evaton, south of Johannesburg, he attended Evaton Community School and later Wilberforce College, also in Evaton. He acquired a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of South Africa and a Master’s degree from Indiana University in the United States (US). Ambassador Kumalo spent much of his childhood in Evaton and later moved to Soweto to stay with his elder brother and the only remaining sibling, Henry, who raised him like his son. Mtungwa cut his political teeth as a student activist. He pursued his fight for freedom, justice and equality for all when he took up journalism, and was one of the founding members of the Union of Black Journalists. This was an epoch when journalists drank hard and lived fast. He slipped into that lifestyle when he joined Jim Bailey’s Post and Drum magazine in 1967, and later joined the Sunday Times. Fortunately for him, our country and the world, he stopped drinking on 31 March 1975 and had he lived, he would be celebrating his 44th year of sobriety on 1 April 2019. It was during this time that he also became an activist in the South African Student Organisation, where he found a platform to contribute and add his voice to the fight against apartheid.
