Glitz, glamour and good food met business last night at the third annual SA Premier Business Awards that were held at the Sandton Convention Centre. Business came out tops!
Keynote speaker, Cyril Ramaphosa, reiterated the need for businesses to serve a broader purpose rather than sorely chase profits.
"As you build your businesses, please consider how they can contribute to building social cohesion. Enterprise is not just an economic good. It is also a social good. Business is not solely about profits. It is also about serving a broader purpose,” the deputy president said.
He went on to declare that government would continue to strive to make it easier for companies to grow, to invest and to create more decent jobs for South Africans.
The South African Premier Business Awards recognise business excellence and honours enterprises which promote the spirit of success and innovation as well as job creation, good business ethics and quality.
