Those South Africans who emigrate to places such as the UK, Australia and US typically do well for themselves. When we find ourselves out of the pressure cooker and in “greener pastures” we’re recognised for our tenacity, energy and resilience. Even in other countries where it’s pretty tough to do business, South Africans shine.
Perhaps the mistake we make is that we have a tendency to elevate our presidents to icon status. We perceive them as infallible, we need them to have all the answers, and we expect them to lead us without fear or favour — across a playing field that is far from even.Consider SA’s initial response to the Covid-19 pandemic — the declaration of a national state of disaster and lockdown level 5. It was indisputably clear, firm and speedy. It was the epitome of leadership.
While the private and non-profit organisation sectors are far from infallible, we’ve seen inspiring demonstrations of leadership during these times. Business For SA supported the government throughout the pandemic, and there are remarkable success stories from this collaboration.
