WHEN RISK LEADERSHIP BECOMES A NATIONAL CONVERSATION.

We are proud to see the conversations from the IRMSA Annual Conference 2026 extending beyond the conference floor and onto SABC News.
Under the theme Circle of Risk -Umphakathi Vuka, we brought together risk professionals, business leaders, academics and policymakers to confront an important reality: South Africa’s risks cannot be managed in isolation.

From domestic security and geopolitical uncertainty to governance and ethical leadership, building a more resilient South Africa requires action at national, organisational and community level.

This is what UmphakathiVuka represents a community rising, taking responsibility and recognising that managing risk is a collective responsibility.
