2017 Save the date

Over the last 13 years, Topco Media

has pulled together meticulous

research and rigorous benchmarking

methodology every year, to bring

South Africa the National Business

Awards and accompanying Top

Performing publication. Together,

the publication and awards have

come to be synonymous with

business best practice, innovation

and success. Last year’s well-

attended event, held at Emperors

Palace on 17 November, awarded

first place to 10 organisations and

three business leaders, who had all

proven themselves to be undisputed

champions in their sectors. The

highlight of the evening saw former

President of South Africa, President

Thabo Mbeki, being awarded the

Lifetime Achievement Award.

Preceding this year’s awards, and

for the first time, previously close-

kept business secrets and innovative

best practices were opened up

to delegates of the new National

Business Conference, where they

received valuable business insights from, and interaction with, leaders of

some of South Africa’s biggest and

most powerful companies. Opened

by distinguished keynote speaker,

Dr Mathews Phosa, the conference

featured a networking session

in which delegates could meet

and discuss business partnership

opportunities.

As a combined calendar event, the

2016 National Business Awards &

Conference was both an inspiring

showcase for the leading lights of

business, and a catalyst for the

spread of business success industry-

wide, through the sharing of business

intelligence.

Market impact

The National Business Awards &

Conference received support from

four top-tier business media partners

with over 100 public and private

sector executives registered and

attended the conference. Keynote

and guest speakers included

politicians, CEOs, directors and

founders of some of the biggest

companies operating in South Africa.

10 in-house widely-circulated press

releases preceded and followed the

event and social media feeds saw

#SaBizAwards trending as a frequent

topic for more than 2 hours during

the Awards.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS

NATIONAL BUSINESS CONFERENCE SPEAKERS

NATIONAL BUSINESS AWARDS SPEAKERS

Jeff Radebe is the longest-serving Minister in Cabinet, having served under all

South Africa’s post-democracy presidents: Nelson Mandela, Thabo Mbeki, Kgalema

Motlanthe and now Jacob Zuma. A former chairman of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal,

he has been responsible for Transport, Public Enterprises, Public Works and Justice

and Constitutional Development. But his latest role, as Minister in the Presidency

responsible for monitoring, evaluation and planning, puts him at the centre of

government’s deliverables.

Key to the deliverables identified by government is the National Development Plan,

which now falls within Radebe’s portfolio. For Radebe, it is important that people

understand that the NDP is not owned by government, but that it should be owned

by all South Africans. “The NDP is not only a plan of the government but a plan for the people of South Africa. The President, in his

wisdom, made sure that the National Planning Commission is not a government entity but was constituted essentially by people

outside of government,” said Radebe at his office at Tuynhuis, next to Parliament.

Dr Mathews PhosaChairman

Mathews Phosa & Associates

Dr Mathews Phosa on is attorney and one of South Africa’s leading business and

political figures. During the early 1980s, Dr Phosa was forced into exile where he

became the Regional Commander for Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK) the then military wing

of the ANC. On his return to the country, he was appointed as the first Premier of the

Mpumalanga Province in 1994. Dr Phosa also served as ANC’s Treasurer General

from 2007 – 2012. In addition to his political career, Dr Phosa has multiple business

ventures where he sits on a number of listed/unlisted company boards. With

numerous other accolades behind him, in 2013, he was awarded a Lifetime

Achievement Award for his contribution to transformation and empowerment at the

12th Oliver Empowerment Awards.

WHAT BLEW OUR WINNERS, GUESTS AND SPONSORS AWAY

“Business has a critical role to play in the ever-changing milieu of our social and economic

landscape. Our country faces tremendous challenges. It is my belief that, in word and in deed,

business groupings like yours must occupy a central role in a national dialogue to recapture the

imagination of South Africans and a quest to re-imagine our country.” - President Thabo Mbeki,

Former President of South Africa

“This is a great honour which I humbly accept on behalf of all entrepreneurs and business

leaders in the country who are championing transformation, innovation and job creation.

These awards reaffirm what we are doing and give us the credibil ity and a platform to inspire

others to follow in our footsteps. We have to do more and I’d l ike to implore every South

African to herald a new era in our country that advocates positive creative thinking to solve the

many challenges South Africa is facing ,” says The Creative Counsel group co-CEO and Top

Performing Business Leader Ran Neu-Ner.

“Just cannot get over the splendour of seeing our company logo flash up on those four huge

screens when Unitrans won the Transport and Logistics award. Very impressive” - Jo-Anne De

Jager, Solutions Manager, Unitrans Supply Chain Solutions

I think everything went off absolutely well and accordingly to plan as well as a great time was

given to all. Thank you for all your efforts that you put in growing the country and I look

forward to seeing you next year! - Margaret Hirsch, COO, Hirschs

It has been a pleasure working with you! I do hope we get the opportunity to work together

again in the future. - Liz Black, Editor, Your Business Magazine
