		Raymond Ackerman ( 10 March 1931 -) is a South African businessman, best known for founding the Pick 'n Pay supermarket group, of which he is still ( as of 2005) the chairperson.
		Ackerman persuaded Greatermans to follow this trend and in 1955 he was put in charge of starting its Checkers supermarkets.
		Ackerman won the Outstanding Young South African award in 1965, along with Gary Player and by 1966, at the age of 35, he was the managing director of 85 Checkers stores.

	Raymond Ackerman
		Mr Ackerman was aged 36, his wife pregnant with their fourth child, when he was unceremoniously thrown into the deep end: being fired with two week’s pay from Checkers, the company he had helped build from possible ruin to 85 stores in the space of 12 years.
		Mr Ackerman stresses the importance of not trying to dig a hole for your competitors, rather run a better ship – let your competitors fall into their own holes – which history has shown to be true.
		Mr Ackerman lives by his philosophy: “Your mission must become a passion you believe in.” It is evident when listening to him, that he has enormous passion for what he does and for the people he does it for.

	IOL: Ramsamy launches attack on Ackermann
		Ackerman was co-chairperson and chief executive of the Cape Town Olympic Bid Committee from 1990 until his resignation in 1995 after falling out with Ramsamy, who, as president of the National Olympic Committee of South Africa (Nocsa), was the country's representative on the International Olympic Committee.
		Ackerman seemed to think of city councillors as "a bunch of second-rate, meddling politicians" and of Nocsa as "a ramshackle group".
		Instead of trying to build a consensus among all the diverse communities in Cape Town, Ackerman had "issued edicts from his office and appeared oblivious to the mood and spirit of the new South Africa where people were no longer prepared to bow and grovel at the feet of the big, white boss".
