During the State of the Nation Address in January 2008, then-President Thabo Mbeki outlined a series of initiatives to step up the pace of delivery and demonstrate a greater sense of urgency to achieve government’s goals, including the “apex” priorities further to boost growth and eradicate poverty. These initiatives formed a major part of government’s work during 2008/09. <PMXI[\Å^MaMIZ[_MZMKPIZIK\MZQ[MLUIQVTaJa[][\IQVMLMKWVWUQKM`XIV[QWVIVL more rapid job creation.
