When Deputy President Paul Mashatile made his second public appearance, it was a night of misplaced jokes, awkward photographs, empty promises and vague sweeping statements.
During his 33-minute speech Mashatile emphasised the importance of supporting local products and businesses and how shopping locally has a ripple effect on the economy. He added that supporting local businesses stimulated the South African economy and redirected funds back into communities rather than into the coffers of national chains and corporations.
