Business Leadership SA chief executive Michael Spicer said Manyi should consider relinquishing his position as either the president of the BMF or the Cabinet spokesperson.
Spicer said: “When Manyi starts speaking, it is not clear whether he is representing government or business.
“It is highly inappropriate for a government official to influence the appointment process in an organisation like Busa,” he said.
Spicer said Manyi was conflicted. “For instance, Manyi is an architect of labour bills and business is opposed to the labour bill. When he opens his mouth, it is not clear whether Manyi is speaking as a businessman or a government official.”

It takes guts to say what Spicer says here. Of course he's completely right in saying it.
Well done Michael, of course jungle is going to accuse you of racism, being anti-transformation etc. I'll back you the whole way though
