The first and arguably most crucial step in effectively resetting our economy is to get people back into economic activity. Resuming economic activity, in the context of a public health system capable of detecting and responding to new cases, something the South African government must be lauded for, is crucial in restarting our economy.

President’s Cyril Ramaphosa’s interventions, specifically the R100 billion that will be set aside to protect and create jobs and the planned R70 billion in tax relief measures will garner the necessary preservation of entrepreneurs. The constraints on key sectors such as mining, textile, and manufacturing by the coronavirus pandemic has meant that our economy was never positioned to adequately adapt to the complete or partial shutdown.

Gooood! Can the STOLEN land issue be resolved once and for all!!
