Our cover icon this month is Vodacom Business' managing executive of public enterprise, Poppy Tshabalala, who spoke to public sector leaders about the outstanding solutions they are finding to society's challenges. The importance of a strategic relationship between the private and public sectors cannot be understated, especially given the kind of challenges South Africa is facing.

Vodacom Business stands out as one of the organisations which has built a strong relationship with the public sector, finding solutions to problems which have a direct impact on residents.
