SA remains a good place to live – let`s keep it that way

Source: Alec Hogg – Biznews, 02/12/2015

Sometimes you have to ignore headlines and just focus on what you can
see around you.

I`m busy crunching numbers on foreign shareholding in the JSE`s Top 40
companies. The resulting piece, based on data provided by
TimBukOne.com, will be published later today. The headline is that
during the first 10 months of 2015, foreign investors raised their
shareholding in Corporate South Africa by a hefty R100bn.

Then, yesterday, I met yet another returned exile. This young
executive, entrusted with an important project by a large company, is
applying skills acquired during a decade abroad. She had risen to near
the top of her particular tree, yet decided to return to home.
Because, as she put it, Cape Town is a far better place to raise
children than South London.

By many measures, South Africa remains a rather pleasant place to
live.

Active citizenry through holding those in power
accountable, is the most efficient approach to ensure it stays that way.

The rigid application of this rule, devoid of consideration for mitigating circumstances, raises serious concerns about the fairness and legality of such administrative decisions.
