The compact between CEOs of large South African companies and government departments to tackle the country's severe energy, crime and logistics challenges is the beginning of a journey and solving the country's challenges will require huge investments into projects with multi-year lifecycles, business organisation Business Leadership South Africa CEO Busi Mavuso said in her latest weekly newsletter on June 12. "An important new vehicle for business cooperation with government [has begun] its journey. At a [recent] meeting at the Union Buildings, organised business, together with several CEOs of major South African businesses, met with President Cyril Ramaphosa and several Ministers to discuss an urgent plan to address the most pressing priorities we face as a country."
