South Africa keeps moving forward – even in the face of the difficulties we are experiencing in our economy at home and internationally.

I recently delivered the State of the Nation Address on Thursday 11 February, in which I highlighted measures government has developed and is implementing to secure and to boost economic growth and create jobs. This at a time when many developed and developing countries around the world are battling.

President Jacob Zuma said R7 billion has been committed to new port facilities. This follows the adoption of a public-private partnership model for port infrastructure development by Transnet National Ports Authority.

Delivering his State of the Nation Address in Parliament last month, President Zuma said government was concerned that South Africa did not own vessels but the country is surrounded by about 3 000 kilometres of coastline.

President Jacob Zuma has moved to assure South Africans, uneasy about the current unfavourable economic conditions, that they should not be despondent, but rather the country should work together to turn the situation around.

In his State of the Nation Address last month, which was watched by millions of people, President Zuma highlighted that the tough global and domestic conditions should encourage “us to redouble our efforts, working together as all sectors”.
