ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I wish to thank my fellow Directors, shareholders, management

Supplier Development and Socioeconomic Development
programmes – where we actively focus on practitioners and
beneficiaries in the healthcare space. This helps us acquire new
contracts and retain our current clients.
We are planning to respond positively to the Gender Policy as
per the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (“JSE”) requirement in
becoming biased towards the appointment of female directors
to address gender imbalances.
OUTLOOK
AfroCentric is committed to optimising the healthcare sector
and raising the value of each healthcare Rand through
consolidation. We support the government in its mission to
revitalise the South African healthcare sector. We regard Public
Private Partnerships (“PPPs”) as a synergistic arrangement
which will augment the public health system and ensure that
the private sector also contributes to public health goals.
Our new leadership manifesto will guide the Group as we invest
in more healthcare-related businesses which demonstrate
the potential to grow and diversify our revenue sources,
while contributing to the sustainable health and welfare of
South Africa.
