On a less positive note Mr Jonas. The reasons for the lack of growth should be quite clear. State threats to security of property and of persons, high levels of tax, onerous labour laws, onerous BBBEE structures, high levels of state corruption - and currently no apparent hope of change. This constitutes a uncompetitive, insecure and for many a positively hostile business environment. Not the kind of place in which any right thinking investor or entrepreneur would invest his capital or energy. It should be no mystery why growth is non-existent and capital and skills are abandoning ship. First step (and I know this is not what you want to hear): Scrap BBBEE now! It is the root cause of much that is wrong and the number one cause of corruption. This country will not succeed until you do.
