STRATEGIC AND OPERATING CONTEXT
We thank and acknowledge our staff and clients who stood by us
through this pandemic and recognise the personal hardships you have
endured and will have to endure in the future.
LOOKING AHEAD
Doing business in South Africa presents unique challenges. One not
only has to deal with the ordinary and normal business risks, but also
the extraordinary, such as national infrastructure dysfunctionality, provincial
government inabilities, local non-service delivery and endemic
corruption throughout all the levels of government.
These very risks and challenges have also proved to be the opportunities
for those choosing to find solutions despite this, instead of finding
excuses as a consequence of it. The Senwes Group looks ahead with
that firm resolve.
The biggest challenges will remain in the Input Channel, while the
indications of high volumes bode well for the Market Access Channel
businesses. The Financial Services Channel of the group is well positioned
to further exploit opportunities.
Acquisitions done over the past two years are performing well, while
work on the current non-performing units in the portfolio, will continue
to bring focus and self-critique.
CONCLUSION
The dream of the Senwes Group is not to be big, but rather to be
better, to be more meaningful to its client base, to offer more opportunities
to its staff and to make a difference in our country, South Africa,
while others choose to leave.
We firmly believe that the real differentiator between businesses is the
level of ownership by each staff member, the responsibility accepted
by each individual Board and Exco member and the ultimate belief that
we will prevail through the grace of the Lord.
