Importance of leadership
“A new social compact and level-headed leadership that’s prepared to debate the hard issues that make up the perfect storm we now face. We need a clear vision as a nation of where we are going and how we are going to get there” – Alistair Smith, NEDLAC CEO
“In SA our arguments are so crude, so ideologically driven, that we always disagree on the basics and never get down to detail, to the intricacies of the decisions that have to be taken” – Justin Barnes, BMA Analysts Chairman
