Resilience

in

adversity

We chose resilience as our focus point this year, as we followed through on our revitalised brand through a challenge-filled year. And as we present our account of the year under review, we are satisfied with the progress we have made, despite the headwinds we faced. We have strengthened our core and made our processes and procedures more efficient. We have emphasised even more, our focus on risk management and compliance and in a year of trials we emerged relatively unscathed by remaining true to our strong fundamentals, and continuing our momentum in demonstrating our resilience in adversity
