Sir Richard Branson speaks about the post Zuma era

Sir Richard Branson paid a surprise visit to Virgin Active RED in Jabulani, Soweto, yesterday.

This is the most successful of the seven RED concept gyms in SA. He said his investment programme with Virgin Active continues to grow, with 20 new clubs opening every year. He also warned that any political uncertainty can hold a country back.

"It would be great that when [President Jacob] Zuma steps down we get a really good leader who can take the Mandela-type of figure and embrace all that's good about SA and take the country forward. The country can be greater than it is today."
