Lin Songtian says he’s encouraging Chinese companies to invest and manufacture in South Africa.

China’s chief envoy to South Africa has a ringing endorsement for President Cyril Ramaphosa.

“I strongly believe President Ramaphosa is the right person at the right time, the best choice of the people at this moment to lead this country in the right direction,” he says

Lin Songtian says South Africa has three unique strengths: its natural and human resources; its unique geographic location making it a gateway to Africa; and its development-ripe infrastructure.
