Addressing SA’s leaders in government, business and civil society at the Sunday Times Top 100 Companies Directors Event on June 9, Bonang Mohale, chairman of Shell SA and the deputy chairman of Business Leadership South Africa, said that SA’s constitution and democratic values were under attack. SA’s constitution has always been what has made the country’s democracy successful, said Mohale. It has been the line that separates the country’s best from its worst, good from evil, right from wrong and freedom of speech from hate speech. He said, however, that SA’s constitution and its democratic values are at risk and under attack. The country had lost credibility in the eyes of ordinary people and experts alike.
