Cyril Ramaphosa, Chairman of Johnnic, Times Media and South African Breweries (headquartered in South Africa) [speaking when he was Deputy Chairman of New Africa Investments Ltd.]:
"Unlike many developing countries, South Africa has a relatively well developed market economy and a substantial business sector. This is an important resource and a tremendous strength. The question we face is how to involve business as a resourceful partner in meeting the challenges the country faces."
[from speech by Cyril Ramaphosa at the launch of the Business Initiative on Job Creation and Human Capacity Development, 14 Sep. 1998 (Johannesburg)]
