The biggest flex & actually an incredible privilege of working, and being a partner, at one of South Africa's Premier 'big law' firms is being a partner with & alongside some of the absolute best practioners in the market & top specialists in their fields. Top tier feeling.

Increasingly (imo) too many trainee practitioners enter practice expecting zero hardship and as they have little to no grit or resilience, when they experience even the slightest adversity in formal practice (or big law), they have a complete meltdown and sometimes even crashout.

Final day of the @AVCA_Africa Conference 2026. Panel 10 #NowOn: Investing with Intention: Impact that drives returns.

International DFIs often require the Africa funds they invest in to be big on impact, which is not to say they are simultaneously willing to compromise returns!

- The quality of the manager matters.
- Portfolio diversification, platform strategies, & driving value creation (driving impact at scale) is key.
- Blended structures to enhance the outcome or returns are critical;
- Building co-investing strategies

- Gender-lens investing is gaining increasing traction.

7/ is the contracting entity which, pursuant to the FAIS Act, delegates the responsibilities, obligations (& as applicable) rights pursuant to a mandate with the client to its JR. The JR, in turn, acts under the Licensed FSPs supervision in rendering the services to the client...

1/ No matter how hard you work or how diligently you apply yourself to excellence, regardless of accolades or achievements even if you ensure you don't have an ego about your work (ie knowing when to ask for help or for peer review when you feel it necessary to check yourself)...

[A N Nyatsumba @InvFundsLawyer]

6/ no additional technical point (which moves the needle that I perhaps overlooked), nothing just verbatim what I said including an anecdote on how the FSCA is responsible for the entities it authorises/licenses and that's why the Licensed FSP, NOT the Juristic Rep (JR)...
