Discovery CEO on why it doesn’t pay to be overly negative about South Africa
Discovery CEO Adrian Gore says there are a number of pressing issues that need to be addressed in SA, such the high rate of unemployment, inequality and poverty – but that people who have negative blinkers on can often miss the opportunities available in the country. “…our country is framed as being in an inevitable decline, which means risk is mispriced and opportunities are missed,” he said. “Simply put: complex and challenging environments present outsized opportunities, particularly if there is a negative perception bias against those opportunities.”
