Scrap birth certificate requirement or risk downgrade, warn business leaders
South Africa needs to scrap the unabridged birth certificate requirement to save the economy and increase revenue from the tourism sector, business leaders have warned.
Colin Coleman, MD and partner of Goldman Sachs International; Christo Wiese, Chairman of Shoprite and the controlling shareholder of Brait and Steinhoff; and Cas Coovadia, MD of the Banking Association South Africa presented this recommendation, along with others, after attending an investment roadshow in London, Boston and New York, led by Finance Minister, Pravin Gordhan.
