In my earlier posts I explored the key things that the South African government must excel at in order to make our country a success story in Africa, on sustainable basis. I explored what President Zuma’s government should consider improving as this relates to the delivery of education, housing, water and electricity services.
Assuming that the above basic services are addressed adequately, government still needs to put measures in place to facilitate for a vibrant and fact-growing economy. Conventional wisdom says that any vibrant economy requires the following things to be delivered at “world-class” standard, in order to facilitate for economic success:
a) An Integrated Transportation Infrastructure
b) Reliable Energy Supply
c) An Excellent Health System
d) A liberal financial regime
e) Widespread availability of ICT Services
In my next posts, I shall be exploring each of the above in more details, in an attempt to identify ideas which the SA government should explore to help make our economy more, vibrant. To be sure, SA’s economy is the biggest on the African continent, accounting for 30% of Africa’s GDP in nominal terms. More can and must be done to make South Africa more productive.
Our Politicians must show willingness to create effective government!!
