PLATINUM SPONSOR
PPC
In 2010, PPC celebrated its centenary as a JSE-listed company, joining an extremely small and elite group of listed centenarians, not only in South Africa but worldwide.
The roots of Pretoria Portland Cement Company (PPC), however, stretch back 119 years to 1892 when it established South Africa’s fi rst cement plant on the outskirts of Pretoria to counter the exorbitant delivery cost of cement imported from Europe. Since those early gold-rush days on the Witwatersrand, PPC has proven its ability to adapt and fl ourish in changing circumstances – two world wars, a global depres-sion and several lesser recessions and the booms and the busts of the cement market.
The history of the company is closely linked to the growth and development of South Africa. PPC has produced cement for many of the country’s most famous landmarks and construction projects. These include the Union Buildings, the Gariep Dam, Van Stadens River Bridge, the Huguenot Tunnel and much of the rest of Southern Africa’s infrastructure.
Today, PPC is the leading supplier of cement in Southern Africa through eight cement manufacturing facilities and three milling depots in South Africa, Botswana and Zimbabwe that can produce around 8 million tonnes of cement products each year.
The company’s cement brands include the market-leading general purpose brands: Surebuild in South Africa, Botcem in Botswana, Unicem in Zimbabwe, and the OPC brand for the specialists.

Development Bank of Southern Africa
The Development Bank of Southern Africa’s (DBSA’s) primary purpose is to promote economic development, human resource development and institutional capacity building through providing fi nance and other re-sources for sustainable development projects and programmes in South Africa and the wider Southern African region.
Since 2010, the DBSA’s new business trajectory has been revised and shifted towards accelerated growth in the scope and size of the busi-ness. The revision was refl ected in new strategies and initiatives in the DBSA’s 2010/11 corporate plan, as well as revised performance targets and levels that saw the DBSA shifting its approach to push national, scalable infrastructure programmes in a manner that ensures sustain-able, value-for-money results at an accelerated pace. This is a shift away from the more fragmented and reactive approach dealing mostly with individual projects at the level of individual institutional clients. The DBSA is being set up to become the centre of excellence for infrastruc-ture development. The DBSA’s mandate is to provide fi nancial, technical and other assistance to achieve the objectives of the bank as provided for in Section 3 of the DBSA Act (No. 13 of 1997), with a focus in its investment activities on infrastructure funding broadly defi ned and with the objective of acting as a catalyst to maximise private sector access to opportunities in the provision of public funding.
