The so-called partnership between the government and business is a blatantly cynical and dishonest attempt by the governing ANC to rope business into making some improvements to the mess government has created in the lead-up to 2024’s election (“Business joins Ramaphosa’s effort to fix SA”, June 7).
Once the ANC is returned to power it will again turn its back on those business leaders foolish enough to have tried to help. All the ANC wants is a majority in parliament so that it can return to its rapacious ways.
Business leaders should see through this treacherous ploy and withhold all assistance until after the election.
