‘I think it starts with the knowledge and that's why I feel entrepreneurship embedded in education will really allow and empower people to be able to be these problem solvers,’ says Ntsaphokazi Madyibi, founder of the Entrepreneurs Development Forum.

ADVERTISEMENT CONTINUE READING BELOW JEREMY MAGGS: The rapid development of skills in the workplace remains a thorn in the side of the economy and unless this is done with greater speed, we’re going to have problems. The national wheel spinning, so to speak, is going to continue.

So I can be the problem solver who really sees what is a problem and actually generate a solution, but ask someone who has the capabilities and the skills required by the market to actually take that solution to the market. So I think we are very slow because we are seeing it only as this thing that you need to be selling something. We are not looking at it from the perspective of solving some of these critical problems that we have.

That’s why it’s always important to actually start empowering the individual and ensure that they’ve got all the capabilities, all the knowledge, all the skills that are required in order for them to execute some of these solutions. JEREMY MAGGS: And let me suggest to you that in theory that sounds great, but when it comes to the public-private partnership concept, businesses might turn round and say, ‘Look, we’re at full throttle here and we are busy focusing on our own survival. We simply don’t have time for outreach’.

So I think it’s something that needs to be legislated to say businesses need to be intentional in ensuring that they develop their human capital in South Africa to ensure that we actually reach where we are supposed to go.
