We don't need to summarise the problems we had before COVID-19 struck, nor how the pandemic just made starkly clear what those problems are.
So the key points here are what are we going to do about it? And how can we utilise the pandemic to catalise change for the better for a more sustainable future.
For the skills-universe memebrs, what can you do and where do your fit in?
Headlining key areas to note:
1. Massive roll out of infrastructure
2. Energy generation - changes to increase supply and ensure sustainability.
3. Large scale employment stimulus - recover the jobs lost - and the need to create more job opportunities. Support tourism, further publication of countries approved to travel to SA, and special skills visas.
4. Industrial growth manufacture locally - use local raw materials - buy local this festive season. Women empowerment.
5. Attention to criminal activities.
Tax evasion and fraud, state employees doing business with the state, violent disruption of construction sites.
Finally, Vulindlela - National Economic Recovery Council - that will be a new acronym (NERC), and
further publications to follow - NEDLAC recovery plan.
