EbrahimRasool has seen to it that the Western Cape of South Africa is quite literally a major point of contact for companies investing in Africa.
Throughout his tenure he has been extremely active in the development of the Cape’s flourishing contact centre and BPO industries, through such measures as training schemes and VAT relief, as well as a Skills Fund and Learnership programme to improve skill sets.
Mr Rasool has played a key role in the success of the Calling the Cape organisation, which provides specialist assistance for investors and helps spur inward investment.
Rasool said it should be easier to affect change, now that the "subtle" removal of blockages which would have been a problem in the former balance of power in the coalition could be effected.
Rasool said there was "greater freedom" now that the African National Congress had 45 percent of the provincial vote and was a stronger partner in the coalition with the New National party.
Rasool Jnr paid tribute to his wife and parents for supporting him, saying while politicians had developed "thick skins" to the stresses and pressures of the job, this was not a prerequisite for family.
