When President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that he was seeking R1.2-trillion worth of investment into the country over the next five years, it seemed like a big stretch, but one-third of that goal has already been realised.

Jacko Maree, one of Ramaphosa’s investment envoys, spoke to Business Day TV about the significance of the recent investments as well as the challenges involved in securing them.
