SNIFFING POSITIVE CHANGE? - TIME TO COME HOME

Source: SA Hoof News, 17/02/2018


A London pal reminded me that Rob Hersov, scion of SA’s famous mining
family, recently relocated his family back to South Africa. After more
than a decade in the UK, Jacques Basson, creator of the Klipkouers
podcasts, has done the same. Judging from conversations after December
18’s historic Ramaphosa victory, the homecoming revolution trickle is
likely to become a flood.
Attracting those with globally marketable skills back to SA is a very
good thing. It sparks a virtuous circle which helps raise the entire SS
South Africa. It raises competitiveness which comes through improved
expertise, and sparks higher tax revenues that help the entire
ecosystem.
It’s something which is hard to over-exaggerate. Given the chance,
South Africans shine anywhere. Something I’ve been reminded of here in
Davos.
Greg Beadle, for instance, has been flown in from Cape Town as a member
of an elite pool of photographers who snap the event’s key moments. And
Saffers Adam Solomon, Sam Holman and their LiquidChefs team are once
again catering for Davos’s most prestigious functions. Good to be
reminded, isn’t it? Hope springs.
