This according to Martin Kingston, the chairperson of Business for South Africa in response to a question from News24 during a joint media briefing from organised business and government on the progress of their collaboration.

"We fully acknowledge that there will be areas where there are different positions and it doesn’t in any way shape or form prevent us from collaborating even indeed in the health space as we proposed we would do," said Kingston.South Africans need to be in the know if we want to create a prosperous future. News24 has kept the country informed for 25 years, and we're about to enter a new chapter of fearless journalism.
