The cabinet lekgotla, which started on Wednesday and will conclude on Thursday, takes place ahead of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s fourth state of the nation address that will be delivered later in February. SA’s SOEs face severe challenges, most significantly the woes faced by cash-strapped power utility Eskom, and airline SAA — the latter being in business rescue.
He said the question has to be answered as to where the gaps are in SOEs, as well as in the three spheres of government. He said the second important area that will be discussed is the country’s economic growth and investment.Earlier in January, the World Bank revised down its economic growth outlook for SA to less than 1% for 2020 due to concerns around power supply. The institution expects the economy, which was forecast to grow 0.6% in 2019, to expand by 0.9% in 2020.
I ain't holding my breath.
