Government giving businesses in South Africa the cold shoulder

Business leaders are willing to collaborate with the government however little headway is being made through collaboration.

Perhaps has something to do with the fact that our government is so backwards they still call each other comrade and think of business people as evil capatalists and not the real reason for any countries growth and strength.

I would think that is an element without a doubt, there is also an element of the government knowing that business will show the government up for being utterly incompetent and well that doesn't do so close to the elections.

Yup.
All governments are bozo explosions, but with BEE and cadre deployment the ANC government is a bozo supernova.

They will never dare work with people more competent than they are.

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing - When you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors - When you see that men get richer by graft and by pull than by work, and your laws don’t protect you against them, but protect them against you - When you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice - You may know that your society is doomed.”
― Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged​

The Government is only interested in collaborating with their syndicates.

A friend was saying that in some cases to get a business license extended he had to organise a cow, the cooking of cow and some ceremonial person to actually do the speech for him, 17k for all of this. He told them to frak right off

So, scale down. Retrench staff. Make those left work harder for less. Expand abroad into markets where governments appreciate and care for businesses. Easy as that.
