Rob Hersov calls for a capitalist reawakening: “Capitalism works, Socialism doesn’t”

In a conversation on this morning's BizNews Briefing, outspoken entrepreneur and “capitalist activist” Rob Hersov doubled down on his call for South Africans to embrace capitalism as a path to growth, jobs, and innovation. Sharing his thoughts on how socialism and its ideals have gained surprising traction, Hersov expressed concern over the influence of leftist ideology on young minds, educational institutions, and policymakers in South Africa. Hersov’s call to action? For advocates of capitalism to step up, support the system that, in his view, has historically proven successful and fuelled prosperity.
