"Roelf Meyer is back - and trying to help save SA's economy" - Part 2
https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2019-01-30-roelf-Meyer-is-back-and-trying-to-help-save-sas-economy/
30 Jan 2019
"We came up with this idea of giving a response from the private sector to what the president had said [in his SONA address]," Meyer says.
"The emphasis was to follow a sectoral approach; to get the participation of the different sectors of the economy and say: 'This is what the private sector can do to make the economy grow and create jobs.'"
A chance encounter on an aeroplane between Meyer and Minister in the Presidency Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma helped to secure government buy-in. The two go way back, having served together in president Nelson Mandela's first democratic Cabinet. Meyer says Dlamini-Zuma was "immediately interesTed" in the project, and inviTed Meyer and his colleagues to the Union Buildings to discuss it further.
What is now known as the PPGI has resulTed in CEOs and representatives from 22 sectors of the South African economy pledge to partner with the government to create jobs, move the needle on economic growth and contribute to skills training.
By Tuesday, the PPGI had identified 18 specific projects across different economic sectors to this end. They were presenTed to President Ramaphosa, the ministers from his Cabinet's economic cluster and the relevant department director-generals.
"There had been a request that we should enable the president to say something in [the forthcoming] SONA about 10 projects, and we gave him 18," says Meyer.
"Each of these is actually quite exciting. There's one from the small business sector saying: 'Let's create partnerships at the local levels of government', whereby municipalities can create opportunities for small businesses. That's something exciting that I don't think has been put on the table before."
It is clear that Ramaphosa's administration views collaboration with the private sector as an essential ingredient - perhaps the key ingredient - to put jumper cables on the South African economy. Indeed, the PPGI is not the only initiative of its kind currently: 2018's Presidential Jobs Summit was built around a similar model of public-private collaboration.
South Africans could be forgiven for seeing the PPGI as just another talk-shop, promising the world but unlikely to deliver the goods in practice.
"This is not just pie in the sky," Meyer objects.
"From what I've observed in working with the different sectors was an absolute enthusiasm from CEOs and companies. They want to do something for the country. There are more than 20 sectors that have commitTed themselves in this way and have done so voluntarily."
He acknowledges that a critical factor will be the government's willingness to address the "inhibitors" that the private sector ciTed on Tuesday as impeding its ability to contribute to economic growth: from policy uncertainty to the unstable energy situation.
"There are damaging factors which we have to first counter and get out of the way," Meyer says, "the factors which resulTed in the decline of the economy over the past ten years."
Though he describes himself as eternally cautious, Meyer is nonetheless convinced that there is a new spirit in the South African air that makes this the right moment for significant economic growth to take root.
"I would not even have tried [a project like the PPGI] under the previous administration," he admits. DM
