In a world that’s changing very fast, new opportunities are out there to attract investment but only for those countries that at least cut bureaucracy down to size. Just how badly South Africa fares has, once again, been embarrassingly highlighted by the latest Fraser Institute report, which ranks a well-endowed country like South Africa among the ten least attractive investment destinations. This is in sharp contrast to neighbouring Botswana, which continues to hold its own in the top ten. South Africa’s abysmally low ranking must simply not be allowed to continue. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.
