It’ s a privilege to introduce myself as the new editor of SA Profile. Taking the baton from Tashne Singh is no small task, but I’ m excited to step into this role and bring you stories that reflect the ingenuity and ambition shaping South Africa’ s future.
What stands out in this year’ s features is the resilience and forward-thinking spirit of the country’ s business leaders. These are individuals and teams who see challenges as opportunities and are not afraid to embrace change, lead with purpose and create meaningful impact.
We begin with SmartOps, a company transforming how businesses approach digital transformation. Their ability to integrate technology into everyday operations demonstrates how businesses can adapt and thrive in an evr-evolving world.
In education, we conversed with Professor Thoko Mayekiso, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Mpumalanga. Her leadership in building and developing one of South Africa’ s youngest universities provides valuable insights into the challenges and rewards of creating opportunities in higher education.
In the mining sector, MAB Group CEO Pinagare Mogodi’ s team is showing how mining can prioritise sustainability and community development. Their work reflects a commitment to solutions that benefit both the economy and the environment.
We also feature Kimberley Taylor, CEO of Loop Platform, whose journey from solving a university maths problem to transforming delivery operations demonstrates the power of innovative thinking in logistics.
This edition of SA Profile is dedicated to the people and companies shaping South Africa’ s future. It’ s their ideas and determination that move us forward, and I’ m honoured to
share their stories with you.
