President Cyril Ramaphosa's ambition to strike a grand social compact with business and labour might not work out after all, he suggested to delegates at the ANC conference on Friday evening.
Ramaphosa, who said in his February State of the Nation Address that he wanted a social compact agreed upon within 100 days, is a strong believer and champion of compacting, which he has advocated as the best way to generate economic growth.
