I would like to place on record the appreciation of City Power for the assistance and cooperation given to us by your consultants in assisting with the preparation of the management reports submitted to two meetings of our Social and Ethics Committee.  The quality and timeliness with which you managed all the tasks assigned to you in the preparation of the reports have given us documents of which City Power can be proud. The reports are appreciated both in their quality and in the manner in which they set out the range of the operations undertaken in support of the broader initiative of the Johannesburg City Council.  We extend to you our sincere thanks and assure that we will not hesitate to call on your services again should the need arise.

Yours Faithfully
Mark Smith / Company Secretary / Johannesburg City Power

Ratings Afrika has had the pleasure of Mr Ben Pieters as a member of its panel of experts for a number of years, and has experienced his work both as an analyst in the measurement of board effectiveness, and as a member of the quality control committee of peers that oversees our work and authorises our opinions finally. We have a very high regard for his experience, insight and diligence, as well as for the wisdom that he displays in often difficult areas of professional judgement.

Mr Ben Pieters is well known to CA-Governance. We have worked together on a number of projects in the assurance and governance commentary fields since 2011, and have found Mr Pieters to have an exceptional focus on aspects of risk, which has proved to be very useful in the assignments undertaken by the company. In addition, his attention to detail and his experience in a number of ancillary fields were of immense value.

Overall we have found Ben to be a person on whom we could always place great reliance, with the reassurance that up to the highest level, the quality of his work was unquestionable.

I confirm without hesitation our appreciation for the guidance, advice and assistance rendered us by your consultants in researching, developing and compiling our corporate strategic plan and supporting financial models.  They also assisted in the preparation of an investment proposal which enabled us to approach potential investors with confidence.

The completed reports for the first time enabled management and the board to fully comprehend the task at hand in driving the regional and global expansion of the enterprise, both as to the comprehensiveness of the content and the attention to detail by the consultants.   The work was always done within the agreed timelines and was consistently of the highest quality.

We sincerely thank you and your team for the work done.  We will certainly make use of your services again should the need arise.
