We are implementing quality infrastructure for recovery because a massive infrastructure programme is vital to the recovery of our economy in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. #SIDSSA2021 https://t.co/sZ7Mc16A9Y — PolitiTweet.org

We are implementing quality infrastructure for development, because it needs to contribute to the development of our society and make a sustainable difference in people’s lives.   #SIDSSA2021 https://t.co/sZ7Mc16A9Y — PolitiTweet.org

This year, #SIDSSA2021 is themed: Implementing quality infrastructure for development, recovery and inclusive growth. https://t.co/tvBND9Lv62 — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Our inaugural Symposium in June last year had a dual mandate: to produce a credible infrastructure pipeline and find the financing to support the delivery of the pipeline.   #SIDSSA2021 https://t.co/sZ7Mc16A9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Infrastructure is transformational.   It is about the far-reaching social change that can be achieved through broadband in classrooms or about integrated housing projects close to economic centres.   #SIDSSA2021 https://t.co/sZ7Mc16A9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Investment in infrastructure is an investment in people. It is also an investment in the future of our country. It is about improving lives, providing access to clean water, affordable electricity and decent homes.   #SIDSSA2021 https://t.co/sZ7Mc16A9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This Symposium is an affirmation of the value of partnership; of working together as government, as business, as financial institutions, as development agencies and as communities towards the common goal of building South Africa. #SIDSSA2021 https://t.co/sZ7Mc16A9Y — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

For nearly three decades, yours has been a voice of conscience, guiding us and motivating us to do better by our people. #HappyBirthdayArch — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Yours is a life that has been well-lived in honesty, integrity, fearlessness and service to humanity in South Africa and globally. At times when we have found ourselves losing our way, you have taken us well to task. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We are further reminded that taking up the struggle for equality and social justice is not the responsibility of only government, civil society organisations or the clergy, but of us all. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

We extend our warmest congratulations to Archbishop #DesmondTutu who celebrates his 90th birthday today. You continue to remind us that fellowship, solidarity, charity & compassion for the vulnerable are values common to us all, and we should strive to live by them each day. https://t.co/0WaNLucZKu — PolitiTweet.org

I think this is a great start when an industry body like the Southern Africa Stainless Steel Development Association identifies training, mentorship and capacity building as a core intervention.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/Z8Vrw4fFBy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Another area that I hear from the industry is targeted training and skills development. We must now shift from general training to industry-specific training needs.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/Z8Vrw4fFBy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

The Women Economic Assembly planning committee has clearly stated the need for an ecosystem to support the participation of women. #WECONA2021 https://t.co/Z8Vrw4fFBy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I am encouraged that the Automotive Industry Transformation Fund is looking at a minimum 30 per cent funding allocation to women-owned businesses in component manufacturing, dealership investment and authorised repair facilities.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/Z8Vrw4fFBy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I applaud the action planned by the Sugar Transformation Fund to invest R200 million annually in transformation interventions.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/Z8Vrw4fFBy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I am delighted to hear about the excellent work each of these industries is already doing towards transformation. #WECONA2021 https://t.co/VWq8LGnBNU — PolitiTweet.org

Women Economic Assembly #WECONA2021 https://t.co/Z8Vrw4fFBy — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Let us demonstrate what is possible so that others may be encouraged to follow.   Through this work, we are building a better economy, a better society and a better life for the women of our country.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/h3q1LhrTvC — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I wish to commend all those industries, companies and stakeholders who are embarking together on this journey.   Let us use this Assembly as a platform for greater and more meaningful progress.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/h3q1LhJuna — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

I wish to encourage other industries and economic sectors to join this initiative and make their commitments and action plans for women’s empowerment.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/h3q1LhrTvC — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

If effectively implemented by all stakeholders, our actions will benefit not only the women of this country, but the whole economy through employment creation, increased production capacity and accelerated economic growth.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/h3q1LhJuna — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

Thirdly, to increase employment of women and youth with set targets;   Fourthly, to rebuild township and rural economies in an inclusive manner;   Fifthly, to create an enabling policy environment; and,   Sixthly, to encourage similar commitments in related industries. — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

There are several targets that we should seek to advance through these commitments & plans:   Firstly, to increase the number of women-owned enterprises within the sector; Secondly, to establish an ecosystem of support for female business owners; https://t.co/h3q1LhrTvC — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

In today’s engagement, I look forward to the commitments and the bold practical steps that the business community is taking to advance women’s participation in supply chains. #WECONA2021 https://t.co/242WifhdsF — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

There is huge unrealised potential in the design of industry value and supply chains and preferential procurement to empower women.     #WECONA2021 https://t.co/h3q1LhrTvC — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

This Assembly builds on that commitment, bringing together key social partners to pursue a common national goal of inclusive economic transformation.   #WECONA2021 https://t.co/h3q1LhrTvC — PolitiTweet.org

Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa

A significant portion of the R21 billion that national government departments have allocated to implementing the National Strategic Plan over the next few years is dedicated to economic empowerment programmes. #WECONA2021 https://t.co/sTzRTuG6T4 — PolitiTweet.org
