• "Using the analytical tools contained in the passages taken from The IziCwe Code, we can say that the brand image of a democratic South Africa conveys a credible promise of vibrant and limitless possibilities for a better life for all … When our country meets this expectation, we will be able further to build our brand image, enlarging the ‘corner of the consumer’s mind’, the identification with ‘the brand character’, that constitutes ‘the most valuable real estate in the world.’(President Thabo Mbeki, Letter to the Nation: The New South Africa)
