The NSI team consists of some of the leading scholars and public intellectuals of government and policy from South Africa, Africa, and the New South.  Beyond their excellence as analysts, writers and advisors, the team is passionate about wanting to rebuild the “centre” again, to sway opinion through evidence and reasoned argument, to be pragmatic about what works, and to do this through an intelligent examination of problems and comparative analysis.

We work in collaboration with the stakeholders and the institutions that can implement change, contributing to the public discourse by sharing our insights across multiple channels. Our big data capability and analytics adds significant value to our research.
