Zambia shows SA what happens when government treats the country like a business

from BizNews Radio · host BizNews

Zambia just handed Hakainde Hichilema a landslide second term, and its youth have gone from 10% optimistic about the future to 55% in under six years. Paramount Group founder and Africa Youth Survey chair Ivor Ichikowitz explains why, and doesn't hold back on what it says about South Africa, where youth optimism is the lowest of the 16 countries the survey covers. His verdict on what Pretoria could learn from Lusaka: treat the country like a business, back the people who deliver, and stop giving investors reasons to speculate. Watch below.
