Can you imagine what the rest of the international business world thinks about FDI in South Africa and the treatment that a major investor was afforded at the hands of the Competition Commission? Like others I don’t think the Unions see the bigger picture for the future. Chris Wilson. What better move to force SA business to be more competitive in a world market. I’m all for the deal. It’s about time the unproductive, highly expensive labour market in SA gets a shake-up. Besides, the man in the street stands to gain all the benefit from such a move and the pressure is on government to re-strategise its business plan of making SA more competitive. All this deal screams is shape up or ship out, no wonder government is all against it…the gravy train’s seats are all too comfortable! Dewald J Van Wyk, General Shipping & Trading t/a GST.
