Cyril Ramaphosa
Will Smith and Chris Gardner
United States businessman Chris Gardner has announced that he and South African businessman and politician Cyril Ramaphosa are embarking on an empowerment deal together, according to reports on Tuesday.
Gardner told delegates at a business conference in Chicago on Monday that there was a huge empowerment deal in the pipeline for South Africa, but he was tight-lipped about the details, the SABC reported.
“Cyril and I are about to do something that frankly has never been done before,” Gardner told the conference.
“We are tremendously excited about it and I will be speaking with him tomorrow [Tuesday] afternoon.”
Gardner’s life story was depicted in the Hollywood movie “The Pursuit of Happyness” in 2006 and featured Will Smith as Gardner, an on-and-off homeless salesman turned stockbroker. [Sowetan]
