We see this social compact in action through initiatives like the Youth Employment Service, which is a collaboration between government and business to provide work experience opportunities to unemployed youth. #SAIC2022 #InvestSA https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We seek a new consensus that draws together the resources, capabilities and efforts of all sections of society to achieve our common goal of a rapid and sustained recovery. #SAIC2022 #InvestSA https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

A Presidential Climate Finance Task Team has been established to lead the mobilisation of funds for our just transition to a low-carbon economy. #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We have established the Infrastructure Fund, with a R100 billion allocation from the fiscus over 10 years, to leverage blended financing from private investors and multilateral development banks for infrastructure. https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are establishing a special unit in the Presidency to deal with bureaucratic red tape and to improve the operating environment for businesses and to reduce the cost of doing business. https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Like many other countries, we are transforming our entire approach to state owned companies so that they are better able to fulfil their vital social and economic functions.   #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Soon we will be completing the migration of our TV signal from analogue to digital, unlocking much of the country’s digital potential. https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

This is going to unlock valuable spectrum for mobile communications that will have significant benefits for consumers and businesses, and will facilitate the deployment of broadband infrastructure across the country. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Last week, we concluded the first significant spectrum auction in close to two decades.   #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Transnet will soon start the process of providing third-party access to the freight rail network, a development that will encourage more efficient use of some of our country’s most valuable infrastructure assets.   #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, we launched bid window 6 of our Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme. This is going to add new generation capacity to the grid over the next two years, mainly through wind and solar power.   #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are working with the private sector to fast-track investment to unlock a potential 4,000 MW of embedded generation. We have increased the licensing threshold for embedded generation projects from 1 MW to 100 MW.   #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are moving ahead to facilitate a competitive market for electricity generation, and the establishment of an independent state-owned transmission company.   We have a deficit of some 4,000 MW of energy supply. #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

In December last year Eskom met its deadline of establishing a separate transmission entity, and is set to complete the process of unbundling into separate entities for generation, transmission and distribution by the end of this year. #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I am here to say that as the government of the Republic of South Africa we are making progress along the difficult but necessary path of reform we embarked on three years ago, that we are starting to see the results. #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This 4th South Africa Investment Conference could not be taking place at a better time, just as the country is casting off the long shadow of the pandemic and embarking on a concerted and determined recovery. #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Not only did these measures provide vital support to those most affected by the pandemic; they also established a foundation for the recovery of our economy. #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Had we not introduced an unprecedented social and economic relief package, many more businesses would have closed, many more jobs would have been lost and many more people would have gone hungry.   #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Had we not acted swiftly to contain transmission and strengthen our health facilities, many more people would have gotten ill and many more lives would have been lost.   #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Unemployment has deepened, resulting in the loss of almost 2 million jobs. Businesses have closed and families across our nation have suffered great hardship.   But it could have been far worse.   #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

For two years, our world has been battered by a pandemic far worse than any experienced in more than a century.   Our economy, like so many around the world, has been severely damaged. #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Welcome to the 4th South Africa Investment Conference. We meet at a moment when our country, like many others, is facing huge challenges as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.   Yet it is also a moment of great opportunity and promise. #SAIC2022 https://t.co/DtX96MtHfr — PolitiTweet.org

These measures will take effect from tomorrow, Wednesday the 23rd of March 2022, once the new regulations are gazetted. With these changes, almost all restrictions on social and economic activity will have been lifted. https://t.co/H9PYdlyijF — PolitiTweet.org

All unvaccinated travellers entering the country who want to be vaccinated will be offered a vaccination. — PolitiTweet.org

There are also changes to the regulations on international travel. Travellers entering South Africa will need to show proof of vaccination or a negative PCR test not older than 72 hours. https://t.co/H9PYdlyijF — PolitiTweet.org

The regulations on social distancing are also being changed, requiring that a space of 1 metre is maintained between persons in all settings except schools. https://t.co/H9PYdlyijF — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

But we do not need to wear masks when walking on the street or in an open space, when exercising outdoors or when attending an outdoor gathering. https://t.co/H9PYdlyijF — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This means that we still need to wear masks when in shops, malls, offices, factories, taxes, buses, trains or any other indoor public space. https://t.co/H9PYdlyijF — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

There are also important changes to the regulation on the wearing of masks. As before, it is mandatory to wear a cloth mask or similar covering over the nose and mouth when in public indoor spaces. However, a mask is not required when outdoors. https://t.co/H9PYdlyijF — PolitiTweet.org
