The Drive Network Future Leaders NPC - Inaugural QSE Business Summit | Melrose Arch | 25 July 2026

This was not just a summit. This was a statement. A statement that South Africa cannot unlock its economic potential without unlocking the potential of its entrepreneurs. Thank you for investing time in what I believe is the most important conversation in South Africa today - Growth, sustainability and successful scaling. Procurement executive panel: sharing insights on various evaluation methodologies and challenges QSEs face in scaling. Moderated by: Lerato Sebata Panelists: Adv Thandi Sabelo | Debbie Tagg | Dawn Smith Business owner panel: sharing insights on how to lead successful enterprises. Moderated by: Lilah Clark (B-BBEE MDP) Panelists: Talifhani Banks | Logan Naidoo | Jackson Dyora Nedbank shared a masterclass on “Pre-approved Credit” for SMEs. What is pre-approved credit? “Money that may already be available to your business before you need it.” Sourcefin shared a masterclass on “Busting the myths of alternative funding” for SMEs. Needing capital isn’t failure. It’s a symptom of wining. This is not a you problem. It’s a fit problem. What a powerful keynote by Mushambi Mutuma. A New DNA: A mind-shifting talk that disrupts how you (entrepreneurs) think about business growth and strategy. 98% of the QSEs and Large enterprises who were in the room would like to hear the speaker again and 100% found the session valuable. Vusi Thembekwayo What a way to close the show!
