ABOUT US

The Progressive Business Forum (PBF) is a programme of the ANC, mandated to promote and enhance liaison between Government, the ANC and Business. It functions under the auspices of the Office of the ANC Treasurer General.
In a fundamental sense, the PBF is the locus of the social compact with Business. It is rooted in the commitment of the ANC to uphold the covenant made by President Nelson Mandela, who, in his inaugural address on the 10th of May 1994, said "Today we enter into a covenant that we shall build a society in which all South Africans, both black and white, will be able to walk tall, without fear in their hearts, assured of their inalienable right to human dignity."
In the words of President Cyril Ramaphosa in his State of the Nation Address on 13 February 2020, "Let us frankly admit that the government cannot solve our economic challenges alone".
With these words, the President invites business to partner with the ANC government, united to confront the realities of the present day South Africa and to resolve them by "placing the economy on a path of inclusive growth".
It is with this common cause in mind, that I invite your attention to this website, to explore opportunities fundamental to business, from SMME's to corporates, as the engine of the economy and to engage at the highest level and have an impact for good.
I encourage all entrepreneurs, business representatives and people of South Africa to become part of the social compact with business, to resolve the challenges of our country together and to ensure that we harness our greatest strengths for the future we can achieve.
