Roelof Botha
His Honours and Masters degrees were both obtained
cum laude at the University of Pretoria, whilst the
Doctorate was completed at the University of
Johannesburg. He was granted three achievement
bursaries and won two academic excellence awards
during his studies. Sporting activity has included
premier league soccer (as a player and coach, at
amateur level), cricket, tennis and sport
parachuting.
In 2005, he received the prestigious Finmedia
Economist of the Year award, based on the accuracy
of forecasts of key economic indicators and he has
been an economic advisor (part-time) to
PricewaterhouseCoopers for the past 18 years.
Combined with teaching courses in applied
macroeconomics at the University of Pretoria, the
University of Johannesburg (formerly RAU), the
Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) and
Tshwane University of Technology, this has ensured
continued exposure to decision-makers in virtually
all of the country’s economic sectors. |

Areas of expertise include overviews and forecasts
of key economic indicators (e.g. exchange rates,
interest rates, GDP growth and capital formation);
sector-specific analysis of demand and supply
conditions; macro-economic impact assessments;
trends with regard to emerging markets & developing
economies (particularly in Southern Africa); and the
domestic and international socio-political milieu.
As a seasoned veteran of the public speaking circuit
in Southern Africa, Dr Botha has managed to
captivate audiences with his unique style of
blending the serious matters of economics and
politics with the lighter side of life. Most of his
presentations are regarded as broadly motivational,
in terms of highlighting research that confirms
numerous positive structural changes in the South
African economy, including an objective reflection
on the prospects for sustained growth & development
and the enhancement of socio-economic stability in
the SADC region. |
