The Silicon Cape launch brought together communities from academia, government, finance and the tech sector in order to pool a wealth of South African talent in a single geographic hub so that the dreams of uplifting ourselves, and our economy could be addressed, realistically and from the right stand point.
Dr. Johann Rupert spoke of a push for the western cape to be a tax neutral zone, one of Dr. Rupert's primary key points, which, when made, was cause for Helen Zille to break into applause.
Dr. Ramphele (who is now heading up the Technology Innovation Agency - TIA) almost brought down the house with her softly spoken: "I can't believe that we can't sell to people who pay in dollars. How stupid is that? How can we grow our economy?" as she spoke about the importance of government creating an enabling environment and bringing down regulatory barriers.

Good speech.
Doesn't make enough empahsis to note that we already have some of the best incentives in the world. The focus should be about using what we have already.
Refreshing!
