Page 5 Why South Africa?  The wonderful receptivity of its business community and warm-hearted people  The fascination of working in a country with a first-world infrastructure and businesses, alongside much less developed features, a climate of highly charged union-management relations, and facing the major challenge of building a truly integrated multi-ethnic community in a context of deprivation and inequality  The brave spirit and self-belief that continues to drive this vision, especially those of us who came from other parts of the world where cynicism is a more common instinct than vision  Having visited approximately 185 companies with 700 students in 11 years we are proud to have been able to contribute in our modest way to the emergence of this wonderful country
