@MichaelJordaan And which of this feature prominently in the happiness and innovation indices. A composite of indices helps us paint a realistic picture of progress. But which indicators point to growth and investment opportunities?

Of the top 20 economies, only 4 managed to outgrow the average of 35% in 10 years (or 3,05% compounded per year)

@MichaelJordaan Overlap this with the Big Mac index PPP data and it makes for an interesting analysis of competitiveness and progress. Cheap is good in these places.

@qatarairways @qrsupport please can someone respond to my emails. Having booked and issued tickets 6 mths ago, Qatar randomly moved our seats and now unavailable for any support or requests to rework booking at SA offices. Unacceptable customer service. Please respond!

Interesting visit to Zim before the forthcoming election…date yet to be confirmed.

@SuperSportTV what is wrong with your streaming…there are constant interruptions? Call centres claim they will look into it or reboot, endless interruptions or freezing. Please address. Impossible to watch six nation.

Time to braai…@LadyBartinney

@richardquest Ahh, but you will also get a taste of SA excellence while you are in town. Looking forward to the show!

Well that didn’t take long. Arrived at my hotel at 0130. At 0200 the lights went out as load shedding kicked in for Area 7 (stage 2) #LoadsheddingUpdate (hotel generator kicked in)

This is a refreshing view of the world. Seems the Argentines have given us much food for thought in the past week and for 2022.
