Piet le Roux on state-proofing your business
The South African business environment is becoming increasingly hostile and uncertain. What can ordinary South Africans do to 'state-proof' their businesses?
In this episode of the 'Solutions With David Ansara' podcast, I speak to Piet le Roux, CEO of business group Sakeliga, about the steps that South African businesspeople can take to protect their organisations from damaging policies.
Piet and I discuss the importance of diversifying your jurisdictional exposure and income streams, as well as why you shouldn't do business with the government. We also speak about how to build alternative institutions in the absence of a capable state.
