The story of Leicester City winning the English Premier League is as instructive as it is inspirational. Not only does it lift the spirits of underdogs the world over, but it also proves what can be achieved when honest professionals (supported by visionary owners and guided by an experienced manager) unite behind a common goal. If that template were to be applied across business and government in South Africa, the aspirations contained within the National Development Plan would be achieved and exceeded. Pictured above is Leicester City captain Wes Morgan celebrating the vital goal against Manchester United, which turned out to be enough to secure the title for his team.
