THE WITSFOUNDATIONOVERVIEW

The University of the Witwatersrand Foundation was established by a Deed of Trust in 1978 as a registered Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) to collect and administer donations for the benefit of the University. A Board of Governors and Trustees appointed by the University Council manage the Wits Foundation, which is recognised as a PBO in terms of Section 30 of the Income Tax Act No 58 of 1962, as amended, and operates exclusively for charitable and educational purposes. The Foundation has associated charitable entities in New York (registered as a Section 501 (c) company) and in London (Registered Charity No. 1087539) which enable donors in the USA and UK to receive tax benefits for their donations to the University.

In January 2008, the fundraising component of the Wits Foundation separated to form the Development and Fundraising Office (DFO), which now operates as a University unit. While the Foundation continues to collect, administer and manage funds, the DFO focuses on professional development activities which include fundraising, database management, research and proposal writing, in line with the University’s Fundraising Policy. The DFO and the Foundation are part of the Advancement Division, which includes Alumni Relations, Community University Partnerships, Functions and Events, and Marketing and Communications.

Tax benefits

All donations to the Wits Foundation are tax deductible in accordance with Act 58 of 1962, as amended. The University has obtained its tax exempt status under Section 10 (1) (cN) of the Income Tax Act. In accordance with Section 18A, which provides for deductions from taxable income, the Wits Foundation as a Public Benefit Organisation is entitled to provide Tax Exemption benefits. Tax certificates are issued in accordance with the legislation for all donations received.

Some interesting developments came to fruition in 2012 – the year Wits turned 90. A carnival event was arranged on the Wits library lawns to celebrate this auspicious year and staff and students were photographed in a giant “W” on the lawns – a moment to be treasured. Positive inroads were made both in the UK and the USA by building capacity and cultivating some high net worth stakeholders.

The Wits Art Museum opened its doors to the public on the 19th of May, with an exhibition, aptly named WAM! Seeing Stars, featuring some of the most extraordinary and priceless pieces from the Wits collection of some 9000 objects of classical and contemporary South African and African art, carefully assembled and preserved at the University. The construction of the Wits Art Museum building was made possible through funding from various visionary and generous private donors and the University itself.

The Science Stadium was officially opened on the 7th of June by the Honourable Professor Hlengiwe Mkhize (Deputy Minister of Higher Education). Friends and supporters of the University came in numbers to support our celebration. “Science, technology, engineering and mathematics skills have long been identified as crucial components of a nation’s ability to grow and prosper”, commented the Deputy Minister.

The DFO managed to secure new partnerships with various corporations wishing to provide bursaries and teaching fellowships to deserving students at Wits. These exciting opportunities create promising futures for students to further their studies at Wits.

November 6th saw the official opening of the new Goldfields Engineering Library at the Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment – a key project that will help the Wits School of Mining Engineering to enhance its contribution towards the alleviation of skills shortages in the mining sector.

Donations In 2012, the total investment income generated by the Wits University Group totalled R435 million. Income processed through the Wits Foundation totalled R189 million (2011: R274 million). Investment income from the Wits Foundation’s Endowment Fund rose to R28 million in 2012 from R23 million in 2011. Investment costs amounted to R14,6 million in 2012 against R13 million in 2011, the increase due to higher investment management fees.

Operating CostsThe operating expenses of the Wits Foundation (which exclude the costs of the Development and Fundraising Office) remained at minimal levels of R287 635 in 2012 compared to R133 745 in 2011. The Development and Fundraising Office expenses have been covered by the Wits University Council budget since 2008. The Foundation realised a net surplus, including Pooled Equity Funds of R33,4 million compared to a surplus of R41,4 million in 2011, which included profit on the sale of assets and investment income.

We are hopeful that the growth and developments achieved in 2012, coupled with our University’s new leadership, will take us into an era where new investors will recognise the increased value of partnering with Wits. We are also confi dent that the excellent relationships that we enjoy with our current stakeholders, namely, government, corporates, trusts, foundations and individuals will grow even stronger as we embark on the Wits Century Campaign 2013-2022.

MESSAGE FROM THE DEPUTY VICE-CHANCELLOR: ADVANCEMENT AND PARTNERSHIPS

Celebrating 90 years of excellence

In 2012, the University celebrated its 90 years of excellence in the form of an institutional commemorative programme (“Wits90”) that addressed a range of audiences within and beyond the University. This also served as the launch-pad for a ten year campaign, the Wits Century Campaign, which will be a vehicle for Wits to attain the ambitions of its Vision 2022 strategic plan.

In particular, Wits expressed its commitment to social leadership by providing platforms for leading thinkers and for the compelling debates of the day, fostering robust engagement and lending depth to issues confronting society. In the course of the year, the University hosted well over 500 public lectures and debates, including focuses on the palaeo-sciences, astronomy, the SKA, the Higgs Boson, mining, freedom of expression, the National Development Plan, governance, law and commerce. We also devoted considerable attention to revisiting the role that Wits played in the struggle against apartheid. As this programme of events unfolded, we were struck by the deep loyalty and investment in the University that was reflected in the responses from Wits staff, students, alumni, friends and investors.

The university also launched the Wits Mining Research Institute amidst an enthusiastic audience of government, academics and industry leaders. Several buildings were opened including the fourth quadrant of the Chamber of Mines Building, the Wits Junction Residence Complex, new libraries, the Science Stadium and the Wits Art Museum, which now curates over 9,000 works of African art, one of the largest and most prestigious collections on the continent.

Other flagship Wits90 events included the unveiling of the Unknown Miner sculpture outside the Chamber of Mines building in an event that included moving reflections on the role that mining has played in the social and economic history of the country. In another initiative, the University designed a Wits Treasures exhibition, which put on display a range of rare and precious items, artifacts, documents and artworks that Wits holds in trust for society. We timed the opening of this exhibition for Heritage Day on 24 September 2012, and simultaneously opened all our museums for free access to the public on that day. This exhibition was the subject of one of two supplements that were published in The Star newspaper that focused on Wits’ 90 year legacy.

Consonant with Wits’ tradition of engagement with social justice issues, the University community gathered on 23 August 2012 to protest against violence in society following the Marikana tragedy. Several debates and colloquia were staged around this issue, as South Africans tried to understand the context of this atrocity.

Wits once again attracted leading politicians, Nobel Laureates, business leaders and famous local and international speakers. Wits hosted four Ministers on campus in September, Deputy President Kgalema Motlanthe launched his biography in October, whilst Nobel Prize-winner Peter Agre delivered a public lecture in October. Sports events, art exhibitions, flash mobs, a Wits90 Carnival, music concerts and shows by Abdullah Ibrahim and Sibongile Khumalo were some of the other diverse Wits90 activities in 2012. In addition, a number of alumni reunion events were hosted internationally, including in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and a number of countries more widely on the African

Page 11: Wits Foundation: Annual Report

11

continent. A particularly successful event was hosted in London in partnership with Bonhams Art Gallery and Barclays, at the time of a major auction of South African Art.

Wits also launched the Wits Public Accountability Forum at the Public Affairs Research Institute symposium in August which focused on corruption and integrity in public life, and featured honest and incisive analyses from both leading scholars and senior government figures. The Wits Energy Forum in May featured a keynote address by Prof. Malcolm McCulloch, a Wits alumnus who is now an associate of the Oxford Martin School at the University of Oxford, and Director of Oxford’s Institute for Carbon and Energy Reduction in Transport. The African Presidential Roundtable was once again co-hosted by Wits and the African Presidential Center at Boston University.

Altogether, it was a year in which Wits reflected on its significant legacy, both acknowledging past and present excellence but also conscious of how it is an institution embedded in a dynamic and contested social context, and that the contradictions of broader society are inevitably reflected, if not magnified, within the University. It is clear that the wealth of events held under the Wits90 umbrella contributed significantly towards profiling the University in the public sphere, but also, very importantly, creating a more reflective sense of the legacies of the past, and the responsibilities of the future.

However, another powerful truth was repeatedly made visible: Wits enjoys the stature that it does in large measure because of the support and generosity of our partners, investors and donors. We trust that, as the University moves into its planned leadership transitions in 2013, Wits will continue to enjoy your collaboration, support and generosity, and that you will take as much pleasure as we do in helping to shape the future of our society.

What an interesting year – 2012. On reflection, I do feel it was an encouraging year, even though the economic uncertainties continued to influence the level of discretionary giving amongst our traditional investor and donor base.

With the establishment of a strengthened London office, and the appointment of Lynda Murray working alongside Bill Frankel, we anticipate more communications, deeper presence and better insider intelligence in the UK market, ultimately resulting in an increase in investor confidence and contributions.

Our visits to the UK have been met with friendliness, encouragement and delight - all positive indicators that Wits is welcome in London, made to feel at home, and encouraged in our purposes. Let the deposits in the bank speak for themselves: an 8-figure investment in 2012 from London still stands as the best evidence and validation of the esteem in which Wits is held in the global north. We wish Bill and Lynda much success in 2013 and promise to support them in their efforts to deepen Wits’ presence in the UK. Watch this space…

Promises of increased activity in the USA in 2012 were also evident at the several meetings and reunions of Wits friends, alumni, partners and curious observers in the northern hemisphere. It is clear from research and personal feedback that we need a dedicated development office in the USA to work in close partnership with Wits Fund Inc. in New York and we hope to report on successful developments in this arena in 2013.

The level of international engagement and collaboration from the Wits development team needs to become much more proactive and strategic. For example, Wits’ prestigious 21st Century Institutes project needs to position itself in the UK and USA in order to maximise the early signals from a global market, increasingly inclined to invest in seeking solutions to global grand challenges. Significantly for Wits, the global markets seek to include high performing Southern Hemisphere platforms. The trend is for multi-themed coordinated efforts that will address the Big Questions of our society, the futures of our world, the connectedness of development agendas that must result in benefits for all or, at the very least, the cessation of practices and projects that may be singularly self-serving. The 21st Century Institutes position Wits well in this global post-Millennium Development Goals discussion. These are very exciting times for Wits.

Closer to home, Wits has an equal and urgent responsibility to be mindful of the immediate needs of South African society, and this is where Faculty development plans become so prominent and relevant. In order to better support the aspirations of the Faculties, the DFO deepened its investment in Faculty-based Fundraisers, significantly improved the University’s ability to analyse its complete investor base (with the generous help of Wits Business Intelligence) and then finally assembled the first picture of Wits’ comprehensive 10-year Project List, revealing a total of between R4-6 billion of new investment required to address the aspirations of Vision 2022. The team at the DFO are to be thanked for their relentless efforts in a harsh fundraising climate that relies on skill sets requiring above-average levels of energy and optimism. In view of this tough environment, we’re indeed fortunate to have enjoyed a stable work force this past year, with very few losses.

DIRECTOR’S REPORT

Armed with the realisation of the billions required, the framework of the Wits Century Campaign 2013-2022 emerged after talks with many stakeholders who assisted the conceptualisation of an Institution-wide process (The Campaign) of driving the development of projects in four basic areas – Infrastructure, Faculty priorities, Research resources (including the 21st Century Institutes) and Special Institutional Initiatives.

Our challenge now is to make the best possible use of the change in leadership at the University, reflected in the retirement of the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Loyiso Nongxa. Professor Nongxa has led the past 10-year fundraising drive at Wits with such extraordinary energy and good humour, and leaves behind exemplary support and involved executives. However, now is a perfect time to leverage the excitement of new leadership, ideas, engagements and landscapes, with the possibilities of attracting new money and new investors.

We are confident that this transition will be supported all the way by our loyal and committed existing donor-investors, to whom this Annual Report is once again dedicated.

Thank you for your support, your criticisms, your patience, your loyalty and your innovative ideas. Thank you for spending time with us, for coming to our events and for your ever-increasing contributions. Your loyalty is SO Wits!

2012 was successful for collaborative projects with our trust and foundation partners. Student support in particular has seen an increase as African and International funders recognise the financial pressure experienced by students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Students from under-resourced areas of the country are at an immediate disadvantage in their university careers for both financial and academic reasons. Wits supports their academic progress through our first year curriculum and various support programmes, but can do little to support the growing numbers of students who find themselves in financial difficulty in their first years of study. Therefore, our staff are delighted by the response of our partners in supporting a growing number of first year students, and beyond, depending on successful academic progress.

Support for research and postgraduate programmes is also an area of on-going expansion at Wits in which our Trust and Foundation partners have made impressive investments. The goal of the University is to increase its postgraduate intake and become even more research orientated. Our progress towards this goal is marked by the development of the six 21st Century Institutes that will investigate areas of particular relevance to the African continent, as well as help to train the research specialists and academics of the future.

The 2012 Chancellor’s Annual Fund strategically targeted two areas of growth: University-wide projects and Faculty-based appeals.

Wits Century Campaign

In the first Appeal of 2012, sent out in May, we asked individuals’ to support the ‘Wits Century Campaign’. This specific initiative focused on establishing a R100 million endowment for the University, through personal giving. Individuals were encouraged to support this initiative by making a monthly donation. The main aim of this campaign is to encourage monthly giving – as the monthly support of a donor is generally considered to be more valuable than a once-off gift. It represents an ongoing commitment towards a strategic goal that is both aspirational and achievable.

The campaign was supported by innovative website pages that utilised Wits90’s celebration of the University’s heritage. An interactive Wits story timeline was created that highlighted Wits’ achievements and linked them to the University’s modern day development agenda.

Faculty-Based Appeal

The second Appeal of 2012 was sent to alumni in September and was segmented according to Faculties. Alumni were sent a Faculty specific letter/email from us. The communication focused exclusively on the individuals’ Faculty, giving details of recent successes and encouraging a donation to one of three Faculty specific development projects. This Appeal leveraged faculty connections as a means of gaining support from Alumni. A total of 183 individuals donated towards the Chancellor’s Annual Fund in 2012 with donations totalling R505, 000. The Chancellor’s Annual Fund maintained a positive cost-to-income ratio, building on 2011’s important strategic decision to focus on cost-effective and measurable impact electronic communications.

On a crisp autumn evening in London on 16 October 2012, the Vice-Chancellor Professor Loyiso Nongxa welcomed UK-based alumni and friends of the University to a celebration of Wits’ 90th year and an announcement of key donations to Wits.

The major announcement of the evening was made by Philip Lindop, ABSA’s Head of Investment Banking, Africa, and himself a Wits alumnus. To great applause, Mr Lindop announced that ABSA was donating R25 million to the University over ten years.

The Vice-Chancellor then announced that the newly created Rothschild South Africa Foundation was launching postgraduate scholarships for historically disadvantaged South Africans, for students undertaking an honours year of study in a fi nancial discipline. Initially there will be 10 scholarships annually; the number will increase over time.

The announcements of these two generous donations set the tone for an evening of celebration. The Vice-Chancellor expressed his pride in having led the University for the past decade.

The champagne reception was generously hosted by Bonhams fi ne art auctioneers at a private preview of a sale of South African art, and was kindly sponsored by ABSA and Barclays. The event was oversubscribed, with about 300 guests fi lling the galleries.

STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS

The Board of Governors is responsible for the maintenance of adequate accounting records and the preparation and integrity of the financial statements and the related information. The auditors are responsible for reporting on the fair presentation of the financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

The Board of Governors is also responsible for the Foundation’s systems of internal financial control. These are designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance as to the reliability of the financial statements, and adequately safeguard, verify and maintain accountability of the assets, and to prevent and detect misstatement and loss. Nothing has come to the attention of the Board of Governors to indicate that any material breakdown in the functioning of these controls, procedures and systems has occurred during the year under review.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going-concern basis, since the Board of Governors has every reason to believe that the Foundation has adequate resources in place to continue in operation for the foreseeable future.

APPROVAL OF THE ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The annual financial statements, which appear on pages 18 to 39, were approved by the Board of Governors and signed on their behalf by:

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTTo the Board of Governors ofThe University of the Witwatersrand Foundation

Report on the financial statements

We have audited the accompanying annual financial statements of The University of the Witwatersrand Foundation which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2012, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in foundation funds and cash flow statement for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes as set out on pages 18 to 39.

Board of Governor’s Responsibility for the Financial StatementsThe Board of Governors is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements, and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used, and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the annual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of the University of the Witwatersrand Foundation as of 31 December 2012 and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.
