Today marks World Environment Day.

For organisations, environmental responsibility is increasingly linked to governance, risk management, access to funding and stakeholder confidence.

Matters such as climate risk, resource use, emissions, water security and environmental reporting are no longer viewed separately from business performance. They form part of a broader ESG discussion that affects how organisations are assessed, financed and held accountable.

Throughout June, we will be sharing a series of ESG insights focused on practical considerations for South African organisations.

Congratulations to Siyakholwa “Siya” Kuse on being crowned WBC minimumweight world champion this past weekend. His world title win is a proud moment for South African boxing and recognises the standard of talent competing from this country.

Congratulations also to Tyla Promnick on winning the South African women’s mini flyweight title. At 21, she became the youngest female boxer to win a national title.

We wish both champions continued success in the next stage of their boxing careers.

We recently participated in a cross-border buying tour across Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and Guangzhou, in collaboration with API and HLB China member firms.

The delegation brought together leaders from the African property development sector to engage with established suppliers and manufacturers across a range of industries, including tile manufacturing, alternative energy, building materials, architecture, lighting design and supply, piping systems, and sanitary and kitchen interior solutions.

The programme created opportunities for delegates to explore sourcing capabilities, strengthen commercial relationships, and gain direct exposure to suppliers supporting large-scale property and infrastructure projects.

Our teams also assisted with coordination, logistics, and translation support throughout the engagement, helping facilitate collaboration between African delegates and Chinese industry stakeholders.

We extend our appreciation to API, the HLB China teams, and all delegates involved in making the tour a success.

South Africa is navigating a difficult balancing act between economic stability and global energy shocks, as South Africa extends its fuel tax relief measures to shield households from rising costs. The decision to continue temporary cuts reflects the immediate pressure that higher fuel prices are placing on consumers and businesses, particularly in an import-dependent energy market.

The backdrop to this intervention is the significant disruption to global oil supply linked to tensions involving Iran. With energy prices surging, governments are being forced to respond quickly to contain inflation and protect economic growth. In this context, the extension of fuel levy reductions offers short-term relief, helping to ease the burden on transport costs and everyday expenses.

However, the policy also highlights the trade-offs involved. While the relief is necessary in the near term, it is not sustainable indefinitely. The government has made it clear that the tax cuts will be phased out and the revenue gap will be recovered through other fiscal measures. This underscores the importance of maintaining fiscal discipline even in times of crisis, particularly as inflationary pressures remain a concern.

Looking ahead, the situation reinforces a broader reality for emerging markets. External shocks can quickly ripple through domestic economies, requiring agile and measured responses. South Africa’s approach reflects an effort to strike that balance by providing targeted support now while safeguarding long-term financial stability.

South Africa’s economy demonstrated continued growth in 2025, with the latest data from Statistics South Africa showing that real GDP expanded by 1.1% over the year, including 0.4% growth in the fourth quarter. The South African Government has welcomed these figures as a sign of resilience following several challenging years and renewed momentum across key sectors.

This positive outcome reflects sustained economic activity and highlights how sectors such as agriculture, services and trade are contributing to the country’s recovery journey. While growth remains modest compared to global peers, the consistent expansion over consecutive quarters signals that structural reforms and collaborative efforts between government, business and civil society are beginning to pay off.

Government leaders have emphasised that maintaining this growth trajectory will require continued focus on investment, job creation and economic reforms that unlock long term potential. The recent data provides a foundation for optimism, supporting efforts to attract domestic and international investment and broaden opportunities for South African businesses and communities.

As we look ahead, the challenge will be to build on this momentum in a way that translates into more jobs, higher living standards and shared prosperity for all. Continued collaboration between public and private sectors will be vital in sustaining growth and making the South African economy more competitive on the global stage.
