South Africa’s private sector is showing great willingness to help to revive the South African economy and it is noteworthy that in many areas the public sector is working alongside business and...
One of the ironies about South Africa’s use of competitive bidding for just about all public procurement, from the purchase of office stationery to diesel locomotives, is that it hardly ever...
There has been much debate of late – in the media and elsewhere – about whether new Johannesburg mayor Kabelo Gwamanda is capable of leading a city with a R70-billion-plus yearly budget, given his...
