Top500 Awards 10th May<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Top Media & Communications (Pty) Ltd is proud to be hosting the 2nd annual Top 500 Awards on 10 May 2018 at Inanda Club, Johannesburg. The awards will bring together illustrious finalists in competition for 14 trophies designating South Africa\u2019s Best-Managed Companies; they include Sun International, Anglo American, Discovery Health, Old Mutual Wealth and Naspers.<\/p>\n

Two intertwined factors make this year\u2019s ceremony different from the norm: zeitgeist and economics:<\/p>\n

– With Mr. Cyril Ramaphosa as President of South Africa and leader of the new Cabinet, there is arguably a renewed sense of hope and optimism in the air, after a prolonged period of listlessness.
– Business-wise, you\u2019ll be familiar with Goldman Sachs\u2019 pronouncement on South Africa as the big emerging market of 2018 – that firm is not alone in this view and there is generally improved – if cautious (hello, Moody\u2019s & Fitch) – confidence in South Africa\u2019s prospects. This against the context of a global upswing – \u201ca decade after the world descended into a devastating economic crisis, a key marker of revival has finally been achieved. Every major economy on earth is expanding at once\u201d – New York Times.<\/p>\n

The awards will bring together three luminaries at the forefront of Government\u2019s drive for business confidence, foreign investment and youth employment: Keynote Speaker Dr Jabu Mabuza, Chairman of Eskom\/Telkom & BUSA President; VIP Speaker Colin Coleman, MD of Goldman Sachs SA, who will outline prospects for the South African economy, and VIP guest Dr. Tashmia Ismail-Saville, CEO of YES (Youth Employment Service), which was launched by the President in March.<\/p>\n
