"I Pledge Allegiance" goes another roundThe speech that I first gave in 2001 entitled "I Pledge Allegiance", which caused quite a stir by being sent all over the world on email, is doing the rounds again.

Guy Lundy appointed CEO of Accelerate Cape TownGuy Lundy has recently been appointed the CEO of a new organisation formed by leaders of key businesses in the Cape. Accelerate Cape Town (ACT) aims to mobilise strong, independent business leadership to develop and implement a bold and innovative 20-year vision and growth path for the Cape region. Complacency and lack of cohesive thinking are causing Cape Town to be left behind in the race for prominence amongst global cities. As a result, several key businesses have already moved their headquarters elsewhere, and it is increasingly difficult to attract and retain top talent in the region. Accelerate Cape Town provides the business community with the necessary voice and dedicated resources to develop and drive the growth of a sustainable and successful world city. A city with the skills, infrastructure and environment necessary to compete internationally for business and talent. The organisation plans to achieve its aims through developing thought leadership in the area of city development, putting key stakeholders in front of one another, using its thought leadership to influence business and government, and facilitating the development of public private partnerships to implement projects that will deliver on the 20-year vision. ACT was launched to Cape business leaders at a cocktail party, held at the offices of KPMG, on the 27th of March, following a full-day workshop facilitated by Clem Sunter that developed some powerful scenarios for the future of the Cape.

Tactical plans like Asgi-SA, while being commendable and undoubtedly good for growth, are not enough to get the whole country behind long term, sustainable improvement. What we need is a grand vision for the nation's longer term future and we need the president to get all of us behind working towards making it a reality. "
