There was widespread support among business leaders attending the WEF including that of Absa's Jeff Gable's for Finance Minister Tito Mboweni's economic turnaround plan. The Gordon Institute of Business founder, Nick Binedell probes the issues of robots and jobs, education policy and the intended National Health Insurance.
