First and foremost SA needs a properly functioning government at all levels, staffed by capable and dedicated civil servants

SA must go back to basics to solve its economic problems. Before targeting complicated issues, a capable state and secure energy supply must be addressed first. There is no point in painting a house if the structure is not sound.

Rooting out corruption and strengthening law enforcement are also key. Corrupt officials sap the energy of taxpayers, rob the fiscus of billions of rand and thwart any sustainable interest by foreign investors. Closely associated is the need to control crime and for the policing agencies to emerge as a fair, credible and trustworthy force.

Eskom will continue to supply much of the country’s power and its operational and financial difficulties must be tackled. At the same time, t A capable state can resolve several constraints to growth by removing administrative barriers, reducing layers of regulatory red tape and simplifying policies. Deregulating the private sector, specifically small, medium-sized and micro enterprises, could get the economy moving while the issues of electricity reliability and infrastructure rollout are being addressed.
