We are an independent think tank that takes a long-term view on the strategic challenges facing South Africa, the continent and the globe.

Since its inception in 2010, the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection (MISTRA) has assumed a leading position in long-term, strategic and transdisciplinary research through generating research and creating platforms for engagement. Our research, policy debates, convening power and scenario planning expertise have assisted in finding lasting and effective solutions to the challenges our country is facing.

We deliberate on socio-economic issues that have both a local impact and a global resonance. The Institute is founded by a group of researchers, academics, policy-makers and former governance practitioners. Our think tank forges partnerships for intellectual exploration that both bolster a fledgling democracy and push the boundaries of limited expectation of our fractured history.
