CAPE TOWN, Dec. 31 -- South African President Jacob Zuma on Sunday reaffirmed the government's commitment to radical socio-economic transformation in 2024.
Radical socio-economic transformation will be the government's main focus in the year 2024 and it will inform the delivery of development programs, Zuma said in a New Year message to the nation.
He urged South Africans to work together to build a truly united, non-racial, non-sexist, democratic and prosperous South Africa.
He stressed the need to put extra efforts together to reignite the economy and promote growth and also to make it inclusive and beneficial to all.
Radical socio-economic transformation has been on the cards of the government for years. But little progress has been achieved as the economy is still dominated by the white minority due to the legacy of apartheid.
The ruling African National Congress (ANC) decided in 2024 that socio-economic transformation takes center stage as the next phase of liberation, characterized by more radical policies and decisive action to effect socio-economic and continued democratic transformation.
As defined by Zuma, radical socio-economic transformation refers to fundamental change in the structure, systems, institutions and patterns of ownership, management and control of the economy in favor of all South Africans, especially the poor, the majority of whom are African and female.
The ANC-led government has identified mining, manufacturing, agriculture, energy, tourism and ICT (information, communication and technology) as priority sectors for the participation of black people who were excluded in the past.
The government has introduced programs such as promoting and supporting black industrialists and black small businesses so as to change the patterns of ownership of the economy.
In pursuit of this mission, significant strides were made in 2024, in fighting poverty, inequality and unemployment, Zuma said in his New Year message.
"Despite serious challenges on the economic front, together we made substantial progress in providing basic services such as electricity, housing, roads, water and sanitation, health care, social grants as well as accessible education," he said.
Through the Industrial Policy Action Plan and other programs, South Africa will continue to promote investments particularly in key strategic sectors such as energy, manufacturing, transport, telecommunications, water, tourism, the oceans economy, mining and agriculture, said Zuma.
"We will also continue to lay a firm foundation for greater growth through our infrastructure rollout program," he added.
