Malema and Zuma, South Africa

Opposition parties have a chance […]

South African Youth Optimistic about the Future

By Quentin Wray 18-06-14 14:33

Some social media and comments on many mainstream websites would have you believe that South Africa was on the brink of an all out race war and that a social and economic implosion was imminent.

SA labour relations get an ‘A’ from top law firm

By Quentin Wray 13-06-14 08:46

South Africa is often lambasted for its labour relations environment and it has become common cause around SA boardrooms that if you want business to hire more people you, paradoxically, have to make it easier to fire them. This is borne out by several studies. The World Economic Forum, for example, placed it in 147th […]
