SUMMARY:After the War - What Lies Ahead for South Africa

Where is South Africa in all of this? \nJoin ACTSA in association with Investec for an insightful breakfast presentation with Jeremy Gardiner\, who will unpack the rapidly changing global economic environment\, what it means for markets and growth\, and where South Africa fits into this increasingly uncertain picture.
