Earlier this month, for the first time in the nearly 100-year history of the SARB, we issued a commemorative banknote series as well as a third commemorative R5 circulation coin in honour of the life of former President Mandela.
Tonight, I would like to briefly reflect on what we can learn from Tata Madiba’s legacy, both as a statesman and as a champion of institutions. After all, it was under Nelson Mandela’s presidency that the defining characteristics of South Africa’s foreign policy and trade policy, as well as our interaction with foreign investors, were established.
