Masisizane Fund was proud to serve as the venue sponsor for the 2026 Business to Brand Summit, a powerful two-day gathering of South Africa’s leading brand thinkers, marketers, and business builders.
Hosted at Mutual Place in Sandton, the summit brought together industry leaders to explore the intersection of brand, growth, and economic impact from corporate brand leadership to the realities of scaling emerging businesses.
We’re grateful to Pat on Brands for offering Masisizane the opportunity to engage with this esteemed group of individuals.
On Day 1, Siyabonga Zungu joined a panel unpacking how brand partnerships can create real business value, a critical conversation in a market where collaboration is increasingly becoming a growth lever.
On Day 2, Thabang Hleza contributed to the discussion titled “Funding Without Fantasy: What It Really Takes to Finance Growth”, grounding the conversation in the realities faced by entrepreneurs and funders alike.
These engagements reflect our ongoing commitment to supporting entrepreneurs not just with funding, but with insight, platforms, and partnerships that enable sustainable growth.
Thank you to Pat on Brands for curating a relevant and forward-looking programme, and to all brands, speakers and attendees who made the conversations meaningful.
