Busi Mavuso - Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) CEO
Last week’s World Economic Forum (WEF) meetings were a testament to there being no better example of government and business working together effectively than when it engages with the international business community, business organisation Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) CEO Busi Mavuso writes in her weekly newsletter.
She notes that business leaders, including BLSA board members Nedbank CEO Mike Brown and Standard Bank and BLSA chairperson Nonkululeko Nyembezi-Heita, attended the WEF meeting alongside politicians like International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor and Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana.
Mavuso outlines that they spoke about the long-term potential of South Africa and how the entities are working together to solve the challenges facing the country.
“The case is much stronger when politicians and business make the case together. Business leaders must make investment decisions every day. They are acutely aware of the risks and the cases both for and against.
“Politicians have it in their power to change policy and, therefore, influence the business environment, improving the investment case. By addressing global leaders from the same platform, we demonstrate our commitment to improving the business environment and the business case for investment,” Mavuso avers.
