Business and Government’s big plans to save crisis-hit South Africa
Public/ private sector collaboration on a broad plan to urgently tackle various crises is encouraging. In an “unprecedented” meeting this week, representatives from organised businesses met with the government under the banner of “removing obstacles to inclusive economic growth and job creation”. Three immediate priority interventions were agreed to: Energy; transport and logistics; and crime and corruption. CEOs of SA’s largest companies committed to contributing considerable skills and resources and working through relevant partnership structures to address these key priorities.
