Stepping into rooms where the future of business is being shaped…
Yesterday morning, I had the privilege of attending the SAICA 2026 Durban District Executive Business Breakfast, proudly sponsored by Draftworx, at Premier Hotel Umhlanga and what a powerful start to the day it was.
Bringing together some of South Africa’s most respected voices — including Angelika Goliger, Dawie Roodt, and Justice Malala, the conversations were both real and necessary.
We unpacked:
The political landscape and what it means for governance and stability
The economic outlook and fiscal pressures shaping business decisions
And most importantly… how business leaders must respond, adapt, and lead forward
And in between all the big conversations… a full-circle moment ✨
Reconnecting with Kajal Mahabir a fellow PKF Durban alumni after 10 years — and honestly, it felt like no time had passed. Those are the moments that remind you that your journey is not just about business… it’s about people.
As a Chartered Accountant and business advisor, spaces like this are a reminder that:
👉 Strategy without context is risky
👉 Growth without insight is unsustainable
👉 And leadership without awareness is dangerous
The real question is not what is happening in the economy —
It’s how are you positioning your business in response to it?
Grateful for the opportunity to connect, reflect, and continue building solutions that move businesses from survival to structured, strategic growth.
