Johannesburg, 11 November 2026 — Business Unity South Africa (BUSA) confirms the postponement of its Business Economic Indaba (BEI), originally scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 1 December 2026 at the Sandton Convention Centre, Johannesburg.

The decision follows recent developments in the domestic and international political landscape, which have introduced new considerations for economic engagement and government–business collaboration.

Given the significance of the discussions planned for the Indaba, and the importance of securing meaningful participation from key stakeholders across government and business, BUSA believes that rescheduling the event will provide an opportunity for more comprehensive and constructive engagement.

The Indaba, convened under the theme “Appreciating Our Assets”, aims to bring together leaders from government, business and other sectors to examine South Africa’s economic strengths, investment opportunities and the practical measures required to accelerate economic growth, competitiveness and employment.

The revised timing will allow the programme and discussions to reflect the evolving domestic and global environment, while ensuring key stakeholders can contribute meaningfully to the Indaba’s outcomes.

BUSA remains committed to strengthening government–business collaboration and advancing practical solutions that support investment, economic development and sustainable job creation.

Further details regarding the programme and participation arrangements will be communicated in due course.
