Well, actually there are more, but as entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Daily Maverick Editor at Larger Tim Cohen discuss, these are the main three, and SA needs to focus on the third because SA’s debt is too high and its taxes too onerous. We also discuss diplomacy and swearing; you might not think the two go together, but they do.
