2. Business: Is it Still Safe to Invest in South Africa?
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

This question is repeatedly received by our editor from thousands of our international and South African readers. We recently received an objective view from a well respected South African business guru, Alex Hogg, of Money Web, who say, "SA deserves its 90% corrupt rating, but urges business and Zuma to do something about it." To read this very enlightening report, which is an open letter to the next President of South Africa, Jacob Zuma who is currently awaiting trial for corruption and fraud, go to our NEWS DESK link.
