However, the ANC’s alliance partners, Cosatu and the SACP, expressed their dissatisfaction with the plan.
Discussing the outcome of the ANC parliamentary caucus’s lekgotla, which was held this weekend, ANC chief whip Pemmy Majodina described the plan Mboweni released two weeks ago as a “draft document that encourages debate”.“The lekgotla welcomed the initiative by the government to start a national conversation on how to boost the South African economy in the short term,” Majodina added. “The economic transformation cluster will lead this national conversation as it affects all South Africans.
“The lekgotla noted concerns about the implementation of reforms in visa regulations, which are crucial for boosting the tourism sector in our country.She added the caucus had resolved that the ANC in Parliament would “move with greater vigour to ensure that the government implements decisive policy measures to reignite inclusive growth and create jobs”.
