R&A Strategic Communications

R&A Strategic Communications R&A is a multi-faceted communications consultancy offering a full range of communications Community guidelines

We want to be share and learn and grow.

Over the past 21 years, R&A has grown into a leading southern African communications agency, with more than 50 clients – big and small, listed and unlisted. We assist clients in navigating complex media and investor relations issues, in building and preserving their corporate reputations, always guided by a strong ethical base. We offer an integrated communications approach, implemented strategica

lly. We work with our clients to establish their communication strategy and plans, and the messages, channels and skills that are required to thrive in a global marketplace, and a local environment. Centrally located in northern Johannesburg, South Africa, R&A has a network of contacts in New York, London, Sydney and Perth and is able to provide access to international expertise and a global audience. While R&A and its principals have experience of working all over the world, we are firmly rooted in South Africa. Following the conclusion of a black economic empowerment (BEE) transaction in 2017, R&A has a 26% black shareholding. We are proud of our South African heritage and determined to contribute to the transformation of the industry and country, including as a whole through the inclusion of historically disadvantaged people in the business. We believe we can make a difference – through our procurement practices, recruitment and development policies, and regular internships. We would love our friends to post interesting articles, photos, and questions or comments

But, please play nicely! Please don’t post anything that is abusive, defamatory or divisive. Please don’t post requests for jobs or internships, or offer services. That’s what the [email protected] email address is for. And, if you have a gripe, please feel free to contact Charmane, Kisten or Peter – all on [email protected].

Today we pay tribute to the courageous South Africans who stood firm in the fight for equality and justice.

As we remember the resilience of the brave South African activists who fought for our human rights, we celebrate the resilience of our democracy and the 30th anniversary of our Constitution.

At R&A, these milestones continue to inspire us to uphold the values of dignity and humanity for all.

We’re attending Mining Indaba 2026!

From 9–12 February, we will join mining leaders, professionals, investors and government delegates at Mining Indaba 2026 in Cape Town as the industry gathers under the theme “Stronger together: Progress through partnerships”.

For us, this theme resonates deeply. Partnerships are critical in navigating complex operating environments - whether in ESG, reputation, stakeholder relations or investor communication.

We look forward to thoughtful, practical conversations on how communication can support trust, resilience and long-term value in mining.

Charmane Russell shares her insights in today’s Business Day op-ed on why ESG remains a critical driver of sustainable business success.

In a world where questions are being asked about whether ESG has taken a step backwards, Charmane argues that sound business logic- not just compliance - is what keeps ESG relevant and essential.

Simply put, doing the right thing is good for business.
