He’s a mostly quiet but key former policy mind for the ANC.
However,Joel Netshitenzhe is now picking up where former US ambassador Ebrahim Rasool left off.
Now with the Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection,or Mistra for short – the same think-tank that facilitated a webinar at which Rasool uttered controversial comments about US President Donald Trump,Netshitenzhe echoed much of Rasool’s sentiment at a Standard Bank-sponsored event just this week.
Our business journalist,Garth Theunissen,was there and joins us in this edition of The Lead to take us inside Netshitenzhe’s speech.
