Delegate Testimonials




"Sanlam took the decision to sponsor BYM since its inception and has sponsored the process ever since. There are three reasons why Sanlam as [a] company has maintained our sponsorship of this initiative.

1) The first reason is the opportunity we get as sponsors to build our Employment Brand and recruit some of the best talent from South African universities.

2) Sanlam has also taken the initiative, in terms of our approach to Corporate Social Investment, to get involved in programs that assist in the development of our youth and future leadership.

3) Thirdly we have been pleasantly surprised to follow the development of this initiative over time and due to the significant role the initiative plays in the lives of participants we will continue our sponsorship.

The development and growth of BYM is … worthy of support from Sanlam and other companies."
