Today we took 30 CEOs… and have them spend time with principles… at some of the inner-city schools…
Itumeleng Kgaboesele, Sphere Holdings
We’ve got problems [in education]… my experience of seeing kids previously prone to vandalism, getting engaged in the school… has given me a lot of hope. There are challenges but there is stuff we can fix.
Itumeleng Kgaboesele, Sphere Holdings
We’re trying to avoid competing for assets…
