Even hard-nosed business leaders want to be loved. That’s the message that emerged on Wednesday at the Joburg Indaba‚ where a survey showed that 24.3% of business leaders just want some affection from the ruling party.
The results of the survey flowed from a question put to delegates: The one thing you want the ANC-led government to do for mining?
The options were:
- Give us a new minister
- Pass the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Bill
- Make industry pay for legacies
- Renegotiate the Charter
- Please love us!
Forty-one percent called for a new minister‚ 26.6% called for the scrapping of the Mining Charter and 4.1% called for the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Bill to be passed.
