During the New SA's infancy, I publicly crossed swords with many (white) leaders of Corporate South Africa over their approach to the major topic of the time – Black Economic Empowerment.
My view was that history had provided the business sector with a unique opportunity to create a massive population upliftment programme. After seeing it with my own eyes, I urged to local adoption of Jamsetji Tata's century old model, where the founder of India's biggest company structured its ownership and dividend flow to benefit the masses of society. With an enormously positive result.
