• Audit and Risk Committee – Gary Grant
• Remuneration Committee – Greg Petzer
• Social and Ethics Committee – Manana Nhlanhla

No relation but all the best in challenging times.

I suppose she has been a racing fan all her life and a Gold Circle member as well?

Belinda was the ex Minister of Finance for KZN.

She was then seconded to the Durban Metro.
