Lehohla hails significance of launch of the Economic Modelling Academy

By: Pali Lehohla

Business Report

IN good part the idea of the Economic Modelling Academy (EMA), launched on Thursday, was inspired by the Kgalema Motlanthe Foundation Dialogue Among Equals, colloquially known as the Drakensberg Inclusive Growth Forum. We are indebted to you President Motlanthe for this vision.

The Economic Modelling Academy has a profound acronym, Ema. In the Sesotho languages Ema carries paradoxical meanings. It means stop, and it also means stand or rise. Depending on your station in life, the word advises appropriately with a profound philosophical advice on reflection.
