"This is a blueprint this sector must build together. The question is: what can we build together that none of us can deliver alone?" - Philip Nieman, General Manager of Mars, left the business community at #THESUMMIT2026 with four asks. Which of the four asks will you act on first?

"KFC made a deliberate choice not to go with a points programme. This is the new frontier for loyalty." - Kgomotso Tsetsepela Malatse, Digital Director at @kfc Africa, at #THESUMMIT2026. #CGCSA #AcceleratingImpact #SABlueprint

Why does #THESUMMIT2026 matter? We put the question to @dylanpiatti , Managing Director of Advantage Group Int. #Africa #CGCSA #AcceleratingImpact #SABlueprint

Three questions to take back to your business from Dr Maanda Tshifularo: 1. How do we innovate how we learn? 2. How do we include young people knocking at our doors? 3. How do we reskill those whose roles are being replaced by AI? #THESUMMIT2026 #CGCSA #AcceleratingImpact #SABlueprint

"To small businesses: our time is now. Let's work with retailers." - Thulile Mbuyane of @MamateeBev at #THESUMMIT2026. #CGCSA #AcceleratingImpact #SABlueprint

"The supply chain calls what's surplus 'waste' and I just don't understand why." - Andy Du Plessis, Managing Director at @FoodForwardSA, at #THESUMMIT2026. "South Africa produces 31 million tonnes of food a year, more than enough for everyone, yet one third never reaches a plate. Let's recover that. It's food safe. It's edible." #CGCSA #AcceleratingImpact #SABlueprint

"Supporting small business means facilitating access to three things: finance, business support services and markets." - Charles Wyeth at #THESUMMIT2026. #CGCSA #AcceleratingImpact #SABlueprint

"An SA blueprint is important, but we cannot take anything that exists and just apply it. One size doesn't fit all." - Charles Wyeth at #THESUMMIT2026. #CGCSA #AcceleratingImpact #SABlueprint
