Bravely building
economic prosperity

Celebrating 10 years of Beyond the Budget, aiming to strengthen economic reform.

For 10 years we have been hosting and facilitating critical yet strategic dialogues between our clients and key stakeholders, actively collaborating in navigating economic uncertainties.

In 2021 we delved into how Infrastructure investment would be the backbone to economic reconstruction and recovery. This year, we anticipate the budget speech will focus on significantly increasing South Africa’s manufacturing output and subsequently expanding the capacity of local suppliers, our 2022 theme is “Infrastructure Programme as a catalyst to Unlock Local Industrialisation Capacity”.

Our National Treasury Director General (DG), Mr. Dondo Mogajane, will deliver a Keynote Address, providing insights on how the 2022 Budget reflects the country’s socio-economic policy priorities, the government’s promotion of aggressive infrastructure spend and more importantly, the key shift towards local capacity building and Industrialisation.

We look forward to yet another thought-provoking yet impactful and forward-looking panel discussion facilitated by seasoned facilitator and entrepreneur, Andile Khumalo, joined by the following panellists

• Dr. Kgosientso Ramokgopa, Former Executive Mayor of Tshwane and current Head of Investment and Infrastructure in The Presidency
• Mr. Lionel October, Executive Director at Industrial Development Corporation (IDC), former Director General at Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (the DTIC)

This year marks the 10-year anniversary of our Beyond the Budget thought leadership event, and this year’s agenda is packed with content that is robust and thought-provoking. In 2021 we delved into how Infrastructure investment would be the backbone to economic reconstruction and recovery. This year, we anticipate the budget speech will focus on significantly increasing South Africa’s manufacturing output and subsequently expanding the capacity of local suppliers. As such, our 2022 theme is “Infrastructure Programme as a catalyst to Unlock Local Industrialisation Capacity”.

We'll be hosting discussions on key issues that affect our government and our economy, as well as viable solutions to help build our nation and continent.

The bravery to imagine and the will to get things done. That’s Africanacity
