Billionaire and IT mogul Robert Gumede says black business leaders should be celebrated and upheld when they deliver, not only criticised when things go wrong.
Speaking at a Black Business Council BBC tribute event in Johannesburg on Thursday night, Gumede said the country must give flowers to excellence while its in motion.
The event was to pay tribute to Eskom CEO Dan Marokane, board chairperson Mteto Nyati, and group executive for generation Bheki Nxumalo for the utilitys steady turnaround, which he said has led to keeping lights on in the country.
