Richard Branson apologises

BRITISH billionaire Richard Branson has apologised after tweeting out a photo full of white people to announce the grand opening of his new Centre of Entrepreneurship in South Africa.
“The Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship is for all South Africans, but yesterday’s choice of a photo to go with my tweet clearly lacked diversity. Apologies,” Branson tweeted on Tuesday along with a photo of him standing with two people of color and five other white people.
The 69-year-old Virgin Group founder and CEO shared the photo of his all-white South African entrepreneurship team counterparts early Monday morning before deleting it after Twitter users took him to task for it.
The centre will assist a select group of entrepreneurs with dedicated project managers to help grow their businesses. – online
