# Business Leadership South Africa CEO, Busi Mavuso, says the appointment of former Exxaro CEO, Sipho Nkosi, to lead a team in the Presidency tasked with identifying and removing red tape is encouraging. President Cyril Ramaphosa during the state of the nation address last week said the team will identify priority reforms including mechanisms to ensure government departments pay suppliers within the required 30 days. Mavuso says Nkosi has exactly the right kind of experience, the perspective of someone who has fought to build a business, with a close-up view of how harmful red tape can be.
