President of the Black Management Forum Mr Andile Nomlala and the Executives 

Members of the BMF 

Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you this evening the Black Management Forum’s 46th year of existence. 2 

Understanding that the Black Management Forum is an organization of Black professionals, the expectation I guess, is that I should speak about the transformation agenda in our country. This, I will do. 

However, allow me to firstly reflect on our fiscal strategy and also to say something about our expectations from black professionals. 

Full speech attached.
