Dawie Roodt to visit Mbombela for hospice business breakfast

Nelspruit Hospice will host a business breakfast on the November 10 featuring a well-known economist, Dawie Roodt.

Roodt will address the topic of quality and honesty in the age of corruption. Rob Gibbs, a local businessman, will also give a short talk on business opportunities in Mbombela.

2020 has been the year of Covid-19. Not only has the economy suffered from businesses which closed or downsized, there have also been numerous reports of corruption. State capture has been forefront in the news; funds allocated for Covid relief and the purchasing of personal protective equipment did not reach those it was meant for.

The questions asked are: Are there still people who honour quality and honesty in their business practices? How can we stem the tide of corruption? Can it be reversed? Roodt will provide perspective on this.
He is a founding member, director and chief economist of the Efficient Group. His newest role is that of chairperson of Efficient Private Clients, a subsidiary of the Efficient Group. He has approximately 30 years’ experience and has been a presenter for kykNET’s Ontbytsake for 15 years.

The event will take place at Mbombela Golf Club with registration and breakfast at 08:00. Roodt’s presentation will start at 09:30.

Costs are R350 per person or R3 500 per corporate table.
