Promoting Local Nelson Mandela Bay Business
The Eastern Cape is a real dichotomy – many internationally known business and sportspersons hail from Nelson Mandela Bay and the Eastern Cape, many businesses are lauded for their innovational ways of conducting business and then… most of those people, schooled and hardened in the deep, hot trenches are then snapped up to work in other cities and countries.The Eastern Cape just does not seem capable of retaining home grown talent.MyPE Business.This drain of resources has, over the past decades, … [Read more...] about Promoting Local Nelson Mandela Bay Business
