LETTER: Well done to Adam Habib
But his move leaves us poorer as a nation and is a sign of our failure

Yes, let us celebrate Adam Habib for his special place among a select few individuals who have flown the SA flag high.
However, his departure leaves us poorer as a nation, in dire need of true role models and game changers in postapartheid SA.
While we cannot deny that Habib’s new post is further evidence of his status, it is also a sign of our failure and our inability to retain our very best.
