| Appreciation
We thank the NEF staff for their generosity in donating clothing, food and other essentials to the victims of xenophobia earlier in the year.
Significant credit goes to the Executive of the NEF who are my key partners in the implementation of the mandate to grow Black participation in the economy. In fulfilling that mandate we are assisted by an able management core, and in no small measure, by a workforce that has come to believe in the vision of achieving an inclusive economy.
We take particular pride in the exceptional and visionary leadership of the Board of Trustees, an esteemed collective of some of corporate South Africa’s most reputable minds.
We acknowledge the sterling support and guidance of the government in general, and in particular the Minister, Deputy Ministers, the Directors General and staff of the dti, as well as Parliament for the privilege of its wisdom.
We also thank the family of investees whose courage and entrepreneurial spirit is the energy that fuels our mandate, and whose resolve to grow our economy we oblige in daily and patriotic service. You are the empowerment dividend.
