What does South Africa lose when talent is overlooked?

💼 A skilled professional who cannot access a workplace.

💡 An entrepreneur whose business idea struggles to attract funding.

📈 A capable individual whose opportunities are limited by assumptions about disability.

Each represents potential that could contribute to South Africa's economic development.

During Disability Rights Awareness Month (3 November – 3 December), we are reminded that economic inclusion is about more than opening doors. It is also about identifying and addressing the barriers that prevent people from participating on equal terms.

At Third Way Investment Partners, we recognise the importance of broadening economic participation as part of building a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

The conversation should extend beyond awareness to the practical decisions that shape access to employment, enterprise development and economic opportunity.

South Africa needs the contributions of all its people.

🎉 Celebrating 30 years of serving those who serve!

Congratulations to the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF) on reaching an incredible 30-year milestone.

Since its establishment in 1996, the GEPF has grown into Africa’s largest pension fund, helping secure the futures of South Africa’s public servants and their families.

We’re proud that our Executive Chairman, John Oliphant, has been part of this remarkable journey.

From a young man from Tumahole, Parys, who joined the Fund in his twenties, to playing a key role in shaping its responsible and developmental investment approach, John’s story reflects the people and principles behind the GEPF’s evolution.

His belief that members should see and feel the impact of their Fund helped drive an approach to investment that looks beyond financial returns, recognising the importance of transformation, infrastructure, education and economic development.

As the GEPF celebrates three decades of impact, we honour the people who have contributed to its legacy and continue to shape its future.

Congratulations to the GEPF, its leadership, employees, members, pensioners and beneficiaries.

Here’s to the next 30 years! 🇿🇦

🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾 From the boardroom to the start line!

On 23 August 2026, members of the Third Way team took on the 10km Wanderers Road Race in Johannesburg.

At the start line were:

👟 John Oliphant — Founding Chairman
👟 Fulufhelo Makwetla — CEO
👟 Bongani Buhlalu — Investment Principal
👟 Phathwakahle Hlatshwayo — Investment Associate
👟 Mbeu Molaudzi — ESG Analyst

🏁 10 kilometres
🎯 One finish line
🤝 One team

A good run has a few things in common with any worthwhile long-term pursuit: preparation matters, consistency counts, and having the right people alongside you makes the journey better.

For the Third Way team, this was a chance to trade the office for the road and take on a different kind of challenge together.

👏 Well done, team!

✨ Things have been moving quickly around here, and we almost missed sharing this one.

On 6 August 2026, Third Way CEO Fulufhelo Makwetla, Investment Principal Bongani Buhlalu, Investment Associate Phathwakahle Hlatshwayo, and ESG Analyst Mbeu Molaudzi attended the AWCA Woman of Substance 2026 event.

Under the theme “Pioneering Excellence: Honouring Legacy, Advancing Leadership,” the event did two important things:

🏆 Celebrated exceptional female achievers.
🎓 Raised funds to support aspiring African women pursuing the CA(SA) designation.

That combination carries an important message.

🌱 Honour the women leading today.
🚪 Create opportunities for those coming next.

Because investing in the future isn't only about capital. It is also about people.

💬 How can our industry create more pathways for the next generation of women leaders?

Third Way invests in the Roggeveld Wind Farm

Third Way Investment Partners has co-invested alongside the Local Community Debt Fund, managed by Infra Impact Investment Managers, in an equity funding transaction with H1 Roggeveld Wind.

The transaction supports the long-term funding of the 147 MW Roggeveld Wind Farm, contributing to continued investment in South Africa’s renewable energy sector and broader energy transition.

As Fulu Makwelta, Managing Director of Third Way Investment Partners, notes:

“Co-investing alongside the Fund in this transaction reflects our confidence in both the underlying Roggeveld asset and Infra Impact's approach to structuring funding solutions that deliver real benefits to Black-owned independent power producers, investors, and CIVs.”

Roggeveld Wind Farm has been supplying clean electricity to South Africa’s national grid since February 2022. In 2025, the project avoided approximately 517,445 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent emissions.

Heritage is not confined to museums or commemorative sites.

It lives in:

🧺 The markets where traditional foods are prepared and sold
🛠️ The workshops where skills pass between generations
🎶 The community spaces filled with music and storytelling
🗣️ The neighbourhoods where language and memory remain alive
🌿 The landscapes that connect people to their history

Behind these living traditions are communities. And communities need reliable energy, water, transport and digital connectivity to flourish.

Infrastructure cannot create a culture or tell a community who it is. What it can do is support local enterprises, connect people to opportunity and help communities thrive in the places they call home.

This Heritage Day, Third Way Investment Partners celebrates the people who carry South Africa's many languages, cultures and traditions forward.

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa.

Our 2025 ESG Performance Overview highlights the continued environmental, social and economic impact generated through Third Way Fund I’s investments in essential infrastructure across South Africa.

Among the key highlights:

🌱 69 renewable energy assets with 5,931.25 MW of installed capacity
👥 5,694 jobs supported across the portfolio
💰 R1.78 billion in ED and SED spend across the renewable energy portfolio
🌍 Approximately 15 million tonnes of CO₂e avoided annually
🏠 854 social housing units financed, including 314 affordable units
📈 R2 billion raised for Fund II

These results reflect the role that infrastructure investment can play in strengthening energy security, expanding economic opportunity, supporting communities and contributing to a more sustainable future.

As Third Way moves into the next phase with Fund II, the focus will build on this foundation by placing greater emphasis on grid-enabled infrastructure, distributed generation, and flexible energy solutions.

1956: More than 20,000 women marched.
2026: Their footsteps still lead us forward.

👣 Into businesses women are building
👣 Into industries they are transforming
👣 Into leadership spaces where decisions are made
👣 Into communities where opportunity is being created
👣 Into an economy in which women must have a meaningful stake

The women who marched to the Union Buildings 70 years ago showed us that progress begins when people refuse to accept the limits placed upon them.

Carrying that legacy forward means expanding women’s access to capital, ownership, leadership and the opportunities created by economic development.

Third Way Investment Partners honours the women who made history, and the women creating South Africa’s next chapter.

Happy National Women’s Day.

We usually think of legacy as the lives we touch directly.

But some of the most meaningful legacies are built for people we'll never meet.

The infrastructure we invest in today helps create the conditions for future generations to thrive.

Think about what strong infrastructure makes possible:

⚡ Reliable energy that keeps homes, schools and businesses running.
🚆 Efficient transport and logistics that connect people to opportunities.
🏗️ Economic growth that attracts investment and creates jobs.
🌱 Long-term development that strengthens communities for years to come.

These are investments whose impact continues long after construction is complete.

At Third Way Investment Partners, we believe long-term investment is about more than financial returns. It is about helping build the foundations for a stronger, more resilient South Africa.

This Nelson Mandela Day, we reflect on the importance of leaving behind infrastructure that continues to create opportunity long into the future.

💬 What kind of investment do you believe leaves the greatest legacy for future generations?

Happy Africa Day! 🌍

True celebration means building a country where our families can actually thrive.

At Third Way Investment Partners, we help institutional investors deploy capital into the infrastructure Africa needs, managing the complexity so funds earn strong, inflation-beating returns while creating real jobs and building the communities our members retire into.

African capital building African futures. 🌍
