Do you own a spaza shop? Are you a community worker, a teacher or an ordinary worker? Are you the best that you can be?

All of us are part of building a competitive South Africa. We are responsible for bringing international investment into our country. We are part of building South Africa’s reputation.

Join Brand South Africa on Thursday 8 October in Langa, Cape Town, for the next edition of the Sowetan Dialogues, to discuss how to make South Africa a competitive country for ourselves as citizens, investors, and tourists.
