SA's lawless economy is growing, eroding tax, enabling crime and corruption, killing jobs - B4SA

Loading player...
Business for SA (B4SA) is campaigning for the government, manufacturers, retailers and consumers to recognise that the growth of the illicit economy - at a similar rate to the legal economy - is a major problem. State capture weakened state entities; Covid-19 rules had the effect of fuelling illicit trade in tobacco, alcohol and other sectors. Listen to anti-crime and tax evasion activists share the granular detail of how businesses that operate outside the law are causing significant damage to the economy. Experts are:
* Abraham Nelson – Executive Head of the Consumer Goods Crime Risk Initiative;
* Kurt Moore – CEO of the South African Liquor Brand Owners’ Association
Zacharia Motsumi – Executive Director of Tobacco Producers Development, Director & spokesperson of South African Tobacco Transformation Alliance
* Yusuf Aramjee – Founder of Justice South Africa and anti-crime activist
* Busi Mavuso - CEO of Business Leadership SA Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
