Business is the most significant direct contributor to the South African economy. These were among the findings in a report by Quantec Research, a South African economic consultancy, commissioned by Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA). Bonang Mohale, chief executive of BLSA, says the report “confirms that business is a vibrant part of South African economy and society and a significant national asset. The footprint of BLSA’s members alone is notable – often bigger than that of government itself. It’s a reminder that business touches every part of South African life and has a positive role and voice to play in the success of the nation.”
