Adam Craker has strong views on what’s needed to turn around South Africa’s fortunes and fix its biggest city, Johannesburg, which has fallen into a state of disrepair.

The CEO of iqbusiness, a digital integrator in the Reunert stable formed recently though the merger of IQbusiness and +OneX, is our guest in this episode of the TechCentral Show.

Craker – whose career has seen him working for the likes of Accenture, Merchants, Dimension Data and Super Group – tells TechCentral editor Duncan McLeod about his plans for iqbusiness post-merger, how it fits in with Reunert’s overall growth plans and why the transaction made sense.

He also unpacks:

• His take on the government of national unity and why he remains bullish about South Africa’s prospects;

• The news that government is considering listing some of South Africa’s state-owned enterprises on the JSE;

• His biggest concerns about the country’s future; and

• What needs to be done to save Joburg – and the role of the Jozi My Jozi initiative.
