Eastern Cape Premier Oscar Mabuyane urged the private sector to partner with the provincial government to create jobs, develop local industries and contribute to community development.
His plea came as he delivered his speech at the opening of the legislature in the rural town of Ntabankulu. The province continues to grapple with high unemployment and a weak economy. Mabuyane says the government will focus on five key pillars to drive economic growth. “Our top priority is putting the people of the Eastern Cape to work. If someone were to ask me, Premier, what keeps you up at night? My answer would be unemployment. This is the number one enemy of the people of the Eastern Cape. Our second priority is building industries for an inclusive economy. Our vision is one where economic development is not just the privilege of a few, but a right for all.
