President Cyril Ramaphosa says that a framework for a social compact has been developed that identifies priority actions to achieve higher levels of investment and growth, increase employment, protect the rights of workers and expand support for the unemployed and tackle extreme poverty.

Since the advent of democracy, our people and indeed social partners have on many occasions been able to unite around common programmes to address the challenges facing our society.

To turn our economy around and create the millions of jobs needed is something that cannot be achieved by government alone. A comprehensive programme will require the mobilisation of all social actors. A framework for a social compact has been developed. It identifies priority actions to achieve higher levels of investment and growth, increase employment, unleash the dynamism of the private sector, protect the rights of workers, expand support for the unemployed and tackle extreme poverty.

To ensure better outcomes and impact, for implementation to be effective, this time we have to do better. Even if this means delaying the finalisation of the new comprehensive social compact until all social partners agree on the contribution they will make towards the betterment of society. While the state has a responsibility to improve the climate for the private sector to invest, implement social support measures to protect society’s most vulnerable, and spearhead poverty eradication programmes, there must be complementary actions by business.

What a cheek you have Mr Phala Phala to call on big business to save the day and bring down unemployment when you can't even keep the lights on to create a environment for big business to invest in. Sis on you what a disgrace.

'Word Salad' Ramapoesa

Time for government to start holding up their side of the deal (i.e. start working). Citizens pay their dues every due.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

If people mention compact you know theyre talking rubbish

Why should we believe a man who has sold us out to the World Health Organization. We no longer have a say in our own health policy. Your body is now OWNED by the NWO.

Why do you still sniff CR azz It's embarrassing.

The socialism instituted by the ANC has failed. Can we go back to sanity now?
