Friday Rant: Render unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar

By

The official statement from Government:

Government will create 100 black industrialists in the next three years to contribute to the economy and create jobs, Deputy Trade and Industry Minister Mzwandile Masina said on Thursday.

“These industrialists… must be active participants in their companies. We want them to get involved in the productive sectors of the economy.

“…We want to make practical examples about people that have been created by this system because government accounts for 30% of the GDP (gross domestic product) and we want that to go to our people.

“We want to have more black people involved in the productive sectors of the economy, taking charge, opening those factories and so on because for us, if that happens, we would have achieved a number of things,” Deputy Minister Masina said.

He was speaking at a Black Industrialists Stakeholder Engagement session in Johannesburg.
