We are at the annual #BusinessInSociety Conference happening at Wanderers in Johannesburg this morning.
The theme this year is social justice. pic.twitter.com/F94WLrokVb— Nedbank Private Wealth (@NBPrivateWealth) May 8, 2018

Corruption by its very nature undermines equality. #BusinessInSociety

As long as there is injustice somewhere peace is at risk #BUSINESSINSOCIETY
— Prof Thuli Madonsela (@ThuliMadonsela3) May 8, 2018
It is in all of our interest to ensure no one is left behind #BusinessInSociety #democracy
— Prof Thuli Madonsela (@ThuliMadonsela3) May 8, 2018
Social justice is about completely ending poverty and inequality #BUSINESSINSOCIETY

When we lose confidence we lose hope, when we lose hope we have nothing left. #BusinessInSociety #democracy #socialjustice

#BusinessInSociety is there a danger of expectations of business becoming to overwhelming and pie in the sky? Business will do what business is intended to do – make profits. Greater interdependence is needed to allow civil society to do what they do – make meaningful difference

Speaking of systemic change, "should #socialjustice be a CSI "programme" or rather an issue tackled at corporate board level?" Great question from the audience #BusinessInSociety @bonang_mohale @william_gumede @TrialogueSA

Solid question from the floor, what of other social injustices, are we looking beyond corruption? #BusinessInSociety

#BusinessInSociety – Prof William Gumede: SA is a broken society. Companies need to uphold the values of the constitution and become agents of change, transformation and social justice. pic.twitter.com/bvgqxpdgqe

On having a seat at the table: We've invited black people and women to the party, but we haven't asked them to dance. They don't know the dance, and we haven't asked them how they dance. And nobody said our dance is the only dance. – Thabang Chiloane #BusinessInSociety

#BusinessInSociety if we are all at the Democracy party does it mean much if we are not all dancing together? Are we currently each dancing to our own tunes while expecting coordinated choreography?

#BusinessinSociety – Thabang Chiloane @Nedbank: analogy of inviting all to the dance, across race, gender, class, age; social justice is the dance. Need to have all South Africans dancing the same dance and enjoying the same music. pic.twitter.com/g9AASdV874

#BusinessinSociety – Thuli Madonsela “it takes a village to raise a child”. Each of us have levels of privilege and power. Sees herself as a privileged South African because she is educated. Sees her power as having a voice. pic.twitter.com/WBGaFrdZWx
