Many organisations are investing significant effort into ESG, Bโ€‘BBEE and sound supplier practices. In his article, governance specialist Micah Gengan explains how independent governance verification can reinforce this work, providing boards, investors and stakeholders with greater assurance that policies, structures and outcomes align.

It is a thoughtful look at how stronger systems can support longโ€‘term trust and resilience.

Mr. Gengan will be a speaker at the Inaugural Climate Means Business Africa Forum on 5โ€“6 February 2026 in Cape Town. Guided by the theme โ€œFrom Risk to Return: Unlocking Africaโ€™s Climate Investment Potentialโ€, the Forum is intended to become a continental platform where sustainability and investment intersect.

In this 17th issue, Editor Lorraine Kinnear opens with a bold year-end challenge and a confession: Africa is done being the silent backdrop to other peopleโ€™s climate, ESG and reporting stories.โ€‹

Her Editorโ€™s Note brings together youth farmers, governance watchdogs, regenerative tourism pioneers and policy shapers to show how our biggest risks โ€“ weak verification, leaky resource deals, shallow climate and ESG plans โ€“ are also Africaโ€™s biggest opportunities to lead through stronger disclosure and oversight.โ€‹

With a theme of ESG Reporting and Governance, this edition dives into how African institutions are tightening transparency, improving data credibility and strengthening accountability in response to rising regulatory and stakeholder pressure. As the year wraps up, it is a grounded reminder that sustainable futures are built on numbers that can be trusted, not just festive slogans.โ€‹

This is Lorraineโ€™s call to move beyond glossy pledges into evidence, accountability and African-built reporting systems that can stand up to scrutiny, page after page. Think of it as essential holiday reading for anyone serious about ESG in Africa.โ€‹

As the year comes to a close and the festive season sets in, our December issue of The Responsible Citizen invites a moment of reflection.

This edition focuses on ESG Reporting and Governance, exploring how African businesses and institutions are responding to growing expectations for transparency, accountability, and credible impact. From stronger data practices and traceable outcomes to governance structures that go beyond policy on paper, we unpack what it truly takes to move ESG from obligation to opportunity.

Itโ€™s a thoughtful, end-of-year read for leaders, practitioners, and citizens looking to close the year with clarity and step into the next with intention. โœจ๐Ÿ“–

In a region where environmental stewardship starts at an early age,
Coaching Conservation uses sports-based play to nurture respect for wildlife and foster a sense of shared responsibility for nature. By awakening empathy in young minds, the program is raising a new generation ready to care for, protect, and advocate for their environment.

The programโ€™s unique approach helps children not just to learn about animals, but to meet, become, and help them. Every lesson culminates in a powerful group chant: โ€œRespect yourself, respect each other, respect your environment.โ€ This ritual, simple but profound, is changing attitudes and building lifelong values.

Wild Entrust proves that conservation starts not only in the bush but in the hearts of children.

Letโ€™s celebrate and support transformative programs like this! Read more at www.trcmagazine.co.bw/shop/.
