		<description><![CDATA[We have to ask how it is that the Gupta name resonates so loud. Is it not because of their highly publicised relationship with the family of the President? It is not because their name does not already and on a regular basis open the door to extraordinary privilege? Are there other business people whose name secures similarly privileged access to public resources?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Although winning in business is important, it’s how we win that matters. Winning the goodwill of customers by giving them better service or a better product is much more critical. Winning should not be about making more money. It’s about doing the best that you can AND doing what’s in the long-term best interests of all your stakeholders, be they customers, your staff or the environment. We should demand this much from companies’ leaders and their boards]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[South African financial markets have been rocked this morning by a 20% decline in the share price of African Bank Investments Limited (Abil). The banking group had fallen sharply after the release of interim financial results for the six months ended 31 March 2013. While various social media and news channels have been absorbed with the sharp decline in the Abil shareprice, the folks at ETM Analytics managed to pull together the attached graph showing just how unsecured lending had ballooned in South Africa over the last few years.

		<description><![CDATA[When the disclosure requirements were introduced, it enabled the man in the street to see what the CEOs of listed companies were being paid. However, it also enabled the CEOs themselves to see what other CEOs were getting paid. Those CEOs who were getting less than their colleagues threw their toys out the cot and demanded that their salaries be brought in line with those of their peers. Gain Symanowitz explores why CEOs get the big bucks.]]></description>
