Ramaphosa said his SONA was not merely about dreams.
“The State of the Nation Address was not merely about dreams. It was
about the lived reality of our people and setting out what we need to
do to achieve the South Africa that we want.
“What it sought to do was to say let us imagine this South Africa that
we so long to have. And in imagining this South Africa, let us do
everything that we can to work towards this South Africa,” he said.
Ramaphosa said that his outlines plans over the short term would not
be lip service, adding that his administration is ‘determined to do
things differently’.
“The litany of a thousand outcomes will be replaced by a tight set of
smart indicators for government to pursue,” he said.
“These will be contained in the Medium Term Strategic Framework, which
will set out the action plan of government for the next five years.”
Ramaphosa said that each government department will produce a
forward-looking and practical annual performance plan.
Each minister will also sign a performance agreement by which they
will be evaluated and for which they will be held accountable.
“In the four months leading up to the Medium Term Budget Policy
Statement in October, we will also work hard to meet some immediate
policy milestones,” he said.
Ramaphosa said these policy milestones will include:
• An action plan on an effective visa regime for tourism and high
skill immigration;
• A policy directive on the release of spectrum;
• An integrated and comprehensive youth employment strategy
coordinated by a project management office in the presidency;
• Engagement with organised business on the ease of doing business
roadmap;
• A national action plan to tackle extortion and violence at economic
sites, especially in the construction sector;
• Ensure the Economic Advisory Council, the Investment Advisory
Council and the Presidential SOE Council commence their work;
• Launching the Township Entrepreneurship Fund;
• Finalising the Integrated Resource Plan;
• Publish a special paper on Eskom detailing a roadmap for the
entity’s future;
• Presenting progress on the public-private growth initiative and the
country’s investment pipeline;
• The development of industrial strategy masterplan in priority sectors;
