Bongani Bingwa chats to Sanlam chief executive officer Ian Kirk to discuss the summit, which has attracted both global and national potential investors.
He says it is tough to do business in South Africa as it is a low growth environment and there is a struggle to get business confidence.

Ian Kirk, CEO - Sanlam
Business needs to ensure a rise in investment.
As long as it is within our business strategy, businesses in the country will continue to invest. And because a business like Sanlam has a lot of competition, that competition requires us to invest in other African countries which the government fully supports.
Ian Kirk, CEO - Sanlam
The government needs to work with business and labour around the concept of inclusive growth, he adds.
For South Africa's economy to grow, the government and business need to work together.
