The World Economic Forum (WEF) presents a unique and invaluable opportunity for South Africa to elevate its profile on the global stage. This annual meeting in Davos brings together a diverse and influential group of global stakeholders, including business leaders, policymakers, and academics, who are eager to learn about the opportunities and challenges facing nations around the world.

As South Africa prepares to share its story, it is vital that we strategically align our key messages to showcase the country’s strengths, such as its rich natural resources, diverse economy, and commitment to sustainable development. Through this collaboration, we can effectively position South Africa as a prominent player in the global economic landscape.

Moreover, the WEF serves as an ideal platform to promote South Africa’s G20 Presidency, which underscores our leadership role within this influential international forum. By emphasizing the importance of partnership between government and business, we can demonstrate our commitment to fostering a collaborative environment for tackling global challenges, including climate change, economic inequality, and technological innovation.

In showcasing South Africa’s economic potential, it is also crucial to address any misconceptions that may exist about the country. This includes highlighting our stable political environment, thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem, and efforts to enhance infrastructure and education, which all contribute to long-term sustainable growth.

Our collective priorities, ranging from inclusive growth and job creation to fostering innovation, should be at the forefront of our messaging. By presenting a unified and positive narrative, South Africa can leverage its presence at the WEF to forge meaningful connections, attract investments, and further enhance its visibility in the global arena.

By presenting a unified message, South Africa can significantly enhance its standing and influence in the global community. This strategic approach not only amplifies our voice but also reinforces the country’s role as a dynamic and forward-thinking nation on the world stage.

The theme of this year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) – Collaboration in the Intelligent Age – is highly relevant as we transition into an era increasingly defined by transformative technologies and interconnected global challenges. For South Africa, this theme resonates deeply, given our nation’s focus on technological innovation, economic reform, and social progress.

Collaboration is at the heart of South Africa’s vision for the future. It is the cornerstone upon which we can harness the power of innovation to address critical economic and social challenges. As we continue to tackle issues such as unemployment, inequality, and infrastructure gaps, collaboration between government, business, and civil society will be pivotal in driving sustainable solutions. By leveraging collective expertise, we can ensure that technological advancements not only foster economic growth but also benefit all South Africans in an inclusive and equitable manner.

Minister Solly Malatsi will delve deeper into the implications of this theme, highlighting how collaboration can serve as a catalyst for growth, prosperity, and development in South Africa. He will explore how embracing innovation and partnerships across sectors can help the nation navigate its complex challenges, enhance its global competitiveness, and foster a more inclusive future for all. Through this dialogue, South Africa will outline a path to capitalize on the potential of the Intelligent Age, ensuring that the benefits of technological progress are shared by all segments of society.

G20 Presidency

This year’s World Economic Forum (WEF) is of exceptional importance for South Africa. For the first time in many years, President Cyril Ramaphosa will lead the South African delegation, marking a significant moment in the country’s engagement with global stakeholders. This leadership provides a unique opportunity to elevate South Africa’s visibility on the world stage, showcasing the nation’s leadership, economic potential, and commitment to global cooperation.

President Ramaphosa’s presence at the WEF also presents an invaluable opportunity to profile South Africa’s G20 Presidency. As the world’s largest economies collaborate on shaping global policies, South Africa’s role as the G20 President highlights the nation’s influence in addressing global economic challenges and promoting inclusive growth. By aligning with the global agenda, South Africa can further its priorities, advocate for meaningful policy changes, and foster partnerships that will benefit both the country and the broader international community.

This strategic visibility at the WEF, under the leadership of President Ramaphosa, sets the stage for South Africa to not only strengthen its relationships with key global actors but also to position itself as a leader in driving innovation, sustainable development, and economic transformation. It is a pivotal moment to demonstrate South Africa’s potential and commitment to fostering a more inclusive and equitable global economy.

Under the theme of Solidarity, Equality, and Sustainability, South Africa’s G20 Presidency encapsulates the core of the nation’s vision for global leadership and cooperation. These pillars form the foundation upon which we can build a more inclusive, resilient, and prosperous global community.

Solidarity underscores the strength of unity and mutual support, recognizing that in our increasingly interconnected world, cooperative solutions are essential to address the complex challenges we all face. Whether it’s combating climate change, responding to global health crises, or addressing the economic fallout from various disruptions, South Africa advocates for collective action that transcends national borders. Our G20 Presidency seeks to reinforce the importance of global solidarity, emphasizing that shared responsibility is key to finding lasting solutions.

Equality stands at the heart of South Africa’s global agenda, as we aim to create fair and just opportunities for all. In a world where disparities in wealth, education, and access to resources persist, our leadership at the G20 prioritizes addressing systemic inequalities. We advocate for policies that promote economic empowerment, bridge the gender gap, and ensure that marginalized groups are not left behind in the pursuit of global development. South Africa’s commitment to equality aims to foster a global society where every individual, regardless of their background, has the opportunity to thrive.

Sustainability serves as a reminder that economic growth must go hand-in-hand with social inclusion and environmental stewardship. South Africa’s G20 Presidency is deeply committed to balancing the need for economic development with the imperative of safeguarding our planet. By promoting sustainable practices, responsible resource management, and a green transition, South Africa advocates for a future where both people and the planet can flourish. Sustainability is not just an environmental concern, but a central element of long-term economic success that ensures a brighter future for generations to come.

Through these guiding principles, South Africa aims to influence the global agenda, shaping policies that foster peace, equity, and long-term prosperity for all. Our G20 Presidency reflects a commitment to forging a path where unity, fairness, and sustainability are not only ideals but practical actions that drive progress on a global scale.

The domestic economy … 

Turning to the state of the South African economy, we acknowledge the challenges that have impacted our growth trajectory. The third-quarter contraction, coupled with the slight downward revision of the second-quarter GDP, has resulted in modest growth of just 0.4% over the first three quarters of 2024. This performance falls below the projections outlined in the 2024 Medium-Term Budget Policy Statement (MTBPS) macroeconomic forecast.

Despite these setbacks, we remain cautiously optimistic about the future. While the road ahead may be challenging, South Africa is resilient and continues to demonstrate its capacity for recovery. The government is committed to implementing key reforms and strategic interventions to support economic growth, improve investor confidence, and stimulate job creation. Furthermore, efforts to enhance infrastructure, promote sustainable development, and attract foreign investment are integral to our path forward.

South Africa’s economy is poised to recover, and we are focused on leveraging our strengths—such as our rich natural resources, a growing entrepreneurial ecosystem, and our commitment to technological innovation. By fostering partnerships across sectors, we aim to address the current economic difficulties while laying the groundwork for a more robust and sustainable future.

Through perseverance, collaboration, and forward-thinking policies, we are confident that South Africa can overcome its current economic challenges and continue on the path to growth and prosperity.

There are significant upside risks to South Africa’s growth in the final quarter of 2024, which offer a promising outlook for the future. Key factors contributing to this optimism include the potential for a faster-than-anticipated easing of inflationary pressures, improved electricity reliability, and the stimulus effect of the withdrawals from the two-pot retirement system.

A reduction in inflationary pressures would provide much-needed relief to consumers and businesses, enabling greater spending and investment. The anticipated improvements in electricity reliability also hold the promise of increased productivity, as businesses and industries are less likely to be disrupted by power outages. Additionally, the withdrawals from the two-pot retirement system will inject liquidity into the economy, supporting household consumption and providing a boost to the broader economic recovery.

While the road ahead remains challenging, these positive indicators lay the groundwork for stronger growth in 2025 and beyond. By capitalizing on these opportunities and continuing to implement prudent economic policies, South Africa can accelerate its recovery, enhance investor confidence, and create a more sustainable and inclusive growth trajectory for the future. The combined impact of these factors presents a solid foundation for a more robust and resilient economy in the coming years.

Government of National Unity

The South African Government of National Unity (GNU): A Step Toward Unity and Progress

The South African Government of National Unity (GNU) has emerged as a powerful force in uniting the nation and driving progress. Established during a period of significant political and economic challenges, the GNU has demonstrated its potential to foster cooperation across various political and social sectors. With a commitment to inclusivity, the government has made strides in addressing key structural reforms that are essential for South Africa’s long-term growth and stability.

A Vision of Unity and Collaboration

The core philosophy of the GNU lies in collaboration. By bringing together representatives from various political parties, it has managed to create a platform for dialogue and mutual understanding. This cooperative approach has not only strengthened the political landscape but also built trust between previously divided factions. As a result, the government has been able to focus on creating policies that serve the broader interests of the nation, emphasizing unity over division.

Accelerating Structural Reforms

In order to address South Africa’s long-standing challenges—ranging from unemployment and inequality to economic stagnation—the GNU has prioritized structural reforms. These reforms have been aimed at revitalizing key sectors of the economy, improving public service delivery, and ensuring that growth is both inclusive and sustainable.

The government has undertaken initiatives to streamline bureaucratic processes, improve education and healthcare, and bolster infrastructure development. This focus on reform is crucial to creating a more resilient economy that can withstand global shocks while benefiting all South Africans.

Positive Reception from Markets and the Public

One of the key factors contributing to the success of the GNU is the positive reception it has received from both the markets and the public. Investors, recognizing the potential for long-term stability and growth, have shown increased confidence in the South African economy. This shift in sentiment has been vital for the government’s efforts to attract foreign investment and stimulate domestic economic activities.

Public support has also played a crucial role in the GNU’s ability to deliver on its promises. By listening to the needs and concerns of ordinary South Africans, the government has fostered a sense of ownership and participation among the population, creating a more unified national spirit.

Building an Investment-Friendly Environment

The positive reception from both domestic and international markets has allowed the GNU to create an environment that is conducive to investment. Through various policy measures, including regulatory reforms and incentives for investors, the government has worked hard to improve the business climate.

The emphasis on stability, transparency, and good governance has made South Africa an attractive destination for investors seeking growth opportunities in the African continent. Additionally, the government’s ongoing efforts to improve the infrastructure and ease of doing business have laid the foundation for a more dynamic and competitive economy.

Conclusion

The Government of National Unity in South Africa has proven that political cooperation, meaningful reforms, and an inclusive approach can result in tangible progress. With a focus on accelerating structural reforms, fostering unity, and creating an investment-friendly environment, the GNU has positioned South Africa on a path toward sustained growth and development. The positive reception from both the markets and the public signifies that the country is on the right track, with greater promise for a prosperous future.

As we prepare to represent South Africa at the prestigious gathering in Davos, it is important to reflect on the core strength that underpins our nation’s progress: collaboration. In times of uncertainty and global challenges, it is the spirit of partnership between government and business that has the power to drive meaningful change. Together, we can champion the messages that matter most—resilience, opportunity, and shared prosperity.

By working in unison, South Africa can showcase its commitment to innovation, reform, and inclusive growth, demonstrating that collaboration is not only essential for overcoming current challenges but also for paving the way toward a brighter future. At Davos, we have the unique opportunity to amplify these messages to a global audience, highlighting South Africa as a beacon of hope, transformation, and sustainable development.

Let us carry forward the values of unity and progress, ensuring that South Africa’s voice is heard, not just as a participant in global discussions, but as a leader in fostering positive change and creating a more prosperous world for all.
