Benevolent Bus Drivers
While it is privately-owned and funded and receives no state support, the mini bus taxi industry is the primary provider of public transport in South Africa and transports 15 million commuters daily as stated in the Who Owns Whom report on the mini bus taxi, bus services and metered taxi industry. The report also discusses the disruption of the meter taxi industry by Uber and similar services and how new technical innovations and big data will change the commuter experience in the future.

Land Restitution
The ANC’s land summit decision to expropriate land without compensation has raised concerns for a negative impact on property valuation and a consequent risk to the banking sector but it should be viewed in context. Land restitution in South Africa is an imperative if we are to live in a just society. When South African soldiers returned from the second world war the white soldiers were given farms and the black soldiers bicycles. The forced removals of black people from areas such as District Six and Sophiatown shredded the social fabric of those communities and is one of apartheid’s greatest crimes.

An ugly South African statistic is that one in five children go to school without breakfast, a fact that is stated in our forthcoming report on the manufacture of breakfast cereals. While there have been many instances of poor behaviour and weak governance by corporate South Africa, an enormous direct social contribution is also made by business and this report highlights initiatives by some of the main players in this sector namely Tiger Brands, Pioneer Foods, Kellogg’s and Future Life.
