TWO DECADES OF
FREEDOMWhat South Africa Is Doing With It, And What Now Needs To Be Done TWO DECADES OF FREEDOM– A 20-YEAR REVIEW OF SOUTH AFRICA
“The people of South Africa have spoken ... They want change! And change is what they will get. Our plan is to create jobs, promote peace and reconciliation, and to guarantee freedom for all South Africans” – President Nelson Mandela, inaugural speech, May 1994
As the 20th anniversary of the birth of democracy in South Africa, on April 27 2014, approaches, it seems a perfect opportunity to take a step back and get a long-range perspective on the important question: “So, what has Nelson Mandela’s South Africa done with its freedom?”
Goldman Sachs has produced this report in the hope of contributing to- wards a more balanced narrative on South Africa; one, which in the wake of 2012’s tragic events at Marikana, had become somewhat hysterical, short-term and often negative.
The report provides a data-rich, empirical analysis of how South Africa has changed in the past 20 years, and its position in the world, and identi es: COLIN COLEMAN
• The 10 areas in which South Africa has made structural advances in this time • The 10 large challenges that remain to be tackled • The 10 key issues now to be addressed
We have privately presented to, discussed and iterated this report in private audiences with the South African government, some of South Africa’s top political leaders, the South African Reserve Bank, business leaders, boards of leading companies, business organisations and leading academic institu- tions.
The report aims and hopes to present a balanced picture, at a time after close on 20 years of democracy, when it is possible to re ect, take stock and get a clear picture of the challenges ahead for South Africa.
We also hope that by providing this balanced perspective on South Africa’s achievements in the past 20 years, and identifying in factual relief the chal- lenges which remain, all South Africans will be in a better position to chart the way forward to realising Nelson Mandela’s vision.

The South African population is even more African dominated today - Based on information provided by the 1996 and 2011 census, the African population is the fasting growing population group and now accounts for c.79% of the South African population. This fact dominates the political and commercial landscape and makes the African community the key determinant of the political and economic life of the country - Economic growth shows strong improvement but unemployment is sticky - GDP, on a dollarised basis, has grown more than 2.8x over the period to around $400bn - Whilst unemployment has remained high with a net 900,000 added to the unemployed between 1996 and 2011, those with employment have in fact grown by 4.2 million in the period and by 6.2 million to 2014. Employment has therefore grown, albeit at an insufficient rate to bring the aggregate % unemployed down The poor have benefited from cash and non-cash state transfers - Non-cash transfers by the State in the form of providing public sector goods and services to the poor is evident in areas such as education (functional illiteracy improving from 34% to 19%), access to electricity (improving from 58% to 85%) and access to water and sanitation facilities (both reaching an additional 13% of the population) - Social welfare monthly cash grants are now afforded to over 16m people in need, which corresponds to the number of people living below the $2/day poverty line in South Africa, at an annual current cost to the fiscus of over $10bn - The combination of these cash and non-cash transfers of value represents a vital safety net and cushion for the poor and supports their ability to acquire their basic needs
Service delivery has improved since 2002 Results of the Stats SA 2012 General Household Survey
Education 57% of learners had benefitted from the ‘no fee’ system vs. 1% in 2002 93% of South Africans can read and write 29% of people older than 20 have grade 12 as their highest level of education vs. 22% in 2002

The survey does not cover other collective living quarters such as students’ hostels, old-age homes, hospitals, prisons and military barracks, and is therefore only representative of non-institutionalised and non-military persons or households in South Africa

The Stats SA General Household Survey, provides a picture of broad improvements for poorer communities - One example to highlight is health, where 70% of households made use of public clinics (vs. 57% in 2002) and around 80% recorded being satisfied or very satisfied with the service received - This stands counter to prevailing public perception of the state of public health facilities and, whilst not evenly performing, on aggregate the data reflects that public health services is deemed by its client users to have improved

South Africa is a small economy when seen in a global context with only 0.5% of world GDP - The US ($17trn GDP) and China ($10trn GDP) are the dominant, leading economies. The performance of these economies is central to South Africa's economic prospects - South Africa’s total equity market capitalisation is a standout 2.5x GDP, the highest market cap / GDP ratio of all countries shown on the table, and one key measure on which it compares favourably against other BRIC countries

The importance of both China and the US for South Africa is further evidenced by their sheer size and influence over global FX and equity markets - Even at a “slower” growth rate of c.7.5%, China is currently adding around $1tn per annum to world GDP. This equates to adding an economy the size of Greece every 12 weeks or the size of South Africa every 4 months - As a major commodity consumer and importer from South Africa and Africa, and given China's increasing overall importance as a trade partner for South Africa, its' economy is hugely influential in determining the overall health of South Africa's - On the right hand side, we see that the ZAR's performance is more correlated to China (given the commodity factor) and the JSE is highly correlated to the performance of US equities. If the US economy enters a phase of sustained growth going forward this should be good news for the JSE

- In 1994 South Africa suffered from a "bad neighbourhood" syndrome, particularly highlighted by the political and economic state of Zimbabwe. The Sub-Saharan Africa region grew at only 2.4% real GDP average growth rate from 1980-2000 - However, in the last 13 years the region actually recorded a 5.6% average growth rate. We forecast this to rise to 6.7% into 2050 which will produce a region the size of $14trn, ranking as one of the fasting growing regions in the world. South Africa and its companies are now ideally positioned to benefit from the growth potential of the continent - Using the Growth Environment Scores as a measure of progress, we see countries universally improving their performance since 1997, albeit off a low base, in providing an environment that is conducive to economic growth

This graph tells a remarkable story about economic growth in South Africa before and after 1994 - Between 1980 and 1994, when South Africa was at the height of the anti-apartheid conflict (with associated sanctions, repression, labour and political unrest), it achieved a 1.4% average GDP growth rate, accompanied by average inflation in the period of 14.3% - Notwithstanding inheriting this dire economic legacy, junk status sovereign credit rating (Standard & Poors BB) and a practically empty bank account (Net Open forward position of -$25bn), South Africa recorded an average GDP growth rate of 3.6% between 1994- 2007 and brought inflation down (with the introduction of inflation targeting) to an average in the period of only 6.3%. This was a "golden period" of economic performance and a peace dividend for South Africa - Post 2007, the changes brought about by the ANC's Polokwane conference and the onset of the global financial crisis had the effect of moderating this growth, which resulted in a more subdued but still positive average GDP growth rate of 2.2%, and average inflation of 6.6% in the period 2007 to 2013 - Importantly, this impressive performance has, through the period, transformed South Africa from an $80bn economy to a $350bn economy today, accompanied by prudent monetary and fiscal policy

- Government debt as a % of GDP shot up through the pre-1994 period to 50%, declined through policies of fiscal prudence in the "golden period" to 28% in 2007 and, since the onset of the global financial crisis, has risen again to 44%, still way below the developed world benchmark in the UK, EU and USA - The IMF recently warned South Africa that a 1% decline in growth could see a rapid rise in Debt/GDP to around 60% - The National Treasury's recent forecasts aims to keep South Africa well clear of the high indebtedness recorded in certain developed markets, and certainly below 50% in the next 4 years - Gross gold and foreign exchange reserves in 1994 were only $3bn (before the negative Net Open Forward Position). As the $(25bn) position closed around 2003, the reserves rose rapidly to around $50bn

- However, South Africa still has room on an absolute and relative (to other growth markets) basis to accumulate further reserves to get to the “optimal” level of precautionary reserves. Such a higher level of reserves theoretically affords the central bank with a cushion and flexibility to deal with any currency shocks - The chart at the bottom shows South Africa’s position in the red bar and highlights that at this point there is room to accumulate further reserves between the current levels and the optimal level as defined by Goldman Sachs Global Investment Research

IIOverall …South cost Africa of capital has made has declined significant structural advances since 1994… 12
- On the LHS, we see that the cost of capital has, in line with falling inflation, declined over the period from an average lending rate from 1980 to 1994 of around 17% to around 11% in the last 5 years. This benefits all members of society from corporates to consumers - The sovereign spreads have largely improved with the exception of the spike in 2008 off very tight pre global financial crisis levels - The recent slightly elevated levels reflect growing risk across growth markets as the US Fed prepares to taper it’s quantitative easing program

- On the LHS, it is clearly visible that around the period of 2000, there was a large differential (equal to about 15x) in the value attributed to US and European companies vs. South African companies, based on one year forward P/E multiples - This made it difficult for South African companies to use their stock as currency for acquisitions globally as they were relatively undervalued and at an impossible competitive disadvantage - At least partly as a result, companies like Old Mutual, Anglo American, SAB Miller and Dimension Data moved their primary listings to the London Stock Exchange, interalia, in the hope of an upward multiple rerating towards LSE valuations to compete on the global stage - Over time, however, this valuation differential reduced as South Africa's Golden Period of economic prosperity assisted in re-rating JSE listed companies upwards, and US and European multiples fell into and beyond the Global Financial Crisis, thereby compressing the valuations close together - South Africa’s current 1 year forward P/E multiple of 13.8x is now on par with the 13.8x of Europe, but lags the 15.5x of the US by only 1.7x. It will be interesting to see if the historic multiple differential re-emerges in future. In the meantime, South African companies are at better comparative valuations on aggregate than they have been since 1994 - The chart on the RHS reinforces the point that on a relative basis to the S&P500 Index, the JSE in US$ terms has performed in line since 1995 despite the effect of a deteriorating exchange rate

The JSE is the only viable, liquid entry point into Africa's equity capital markets - South Africa’s corporate equity market cap, at c.$880bn, is more than 11x larger than any other African stock exchange, with Nigeria’s $77bn market cap exchange the next largest. The JSE represents 80% of all Africa's equity capital markets. On a liquidity basis, South Africa trades c.$2bn average daily trading value (ADTV) vs. Nigeria’s $20m. Therefore, international investors, sovereign wealth funds and multinationals such as Walmart, Vodafone & ICBC consistently choose South African companies as the platform for their Africa strategy - The high standards of corporate governance, excellence of management teams and the liquid capital markets make South African companies attractive targets and partners for African expansion - On a global scale, the JSE as the 14th largest stock exchange compares favourably to fellow BRIC nations such as Russia

- The chart on the left shows that there has been improvements in inward FDI to South Africa, however on a net basis, after accounting for outflows such as dividends to international investors, particularly post 2000, as a result of offshore listings, dividends or outward bound FDI, we see that net FDI has been volatile - Through the period 1994 -2012, net annual FDI has been on average only $1.9bn with only 2 years (2001 and 2008) in which net FDI has exceeded $10bn

In comparison with India, China and Brazil, South Africa's net FDI has lagged (in line with Russia) - As we show later, in respect of funding the current account deficit, South Africa should aim to lift the average annual net FDI closer to the $5-10bn range. This requires decisive steps to improve the climate for foreign investment across the economy, and to aggressively compete globally for that investment

The increasing volume of imports from and exports to China has somewhat compensated for the decline in trade with Europe - Whilst exports to Europe decreased from 32% to 25% since 2002, exports to China increased from 1.5% to 12% - Similarly, while imports from Europe have decreased from 45% to 31%, imports from China have increased from 5% to 14% - This reflects the growing importance of China. Africa's contribution to trade is also an improving trend though more should be done to accelerate intra Africa trade

- This graph shows how China's rise in trade, supported by a moderate increase from Africa, is offsetting Europe's declining trade contribution (off a high base) - Corporate expansion into Africa is helpful and should be further encouraged and facilitated to increase trade linkages across sectors - Goldman Sachs forecasts 2014 GDP growth for Europe of 1.7% from (0.5)% in 2013, a positive swing of 2.2% in 2014. This will hopefully also see Europe's declining pattern of trade with SA stabilise

The rise in disposable incomes of South Africans has resulted in a remarkable progression in the LSM (Living Standard Measure) profile of the country - This is a standard method used to measure the population in 10 income categories - Between 2001 and 2010, the number of people in the LSM 1-4 categories (which is the lower income group) decreased significantly from 52% to 31%, resulting in 4.6m less people in the lower income group. And the number of people in the LSM 5-10 increased from 48% to 69%, resulting in almost 10 million more people graduating into the middle to upper band. This was an average of 1 million people per year over a 10 year period, a truly remarkable development - The largest numbers of people are now in LSM 5-6 (middle income) with 12.3m from 7.3m a decade earlier
8 The African middle class has more than doubled from 1993 to 2008

These shifts in income or wealth can be further analysed by race - The middle class has doubled from 7% of the African population in 1993 to 14% in 2008, a rise of 3.1m more Africans in the period to 5.4m - Over the same period, the white middle class decreased from 4.2m people to 3.0m. Of that decrease, 0.5m whites graduated to the upper class income and the other 0.7m people emigrated (as evidenced by the overall decline in the white population from 5.1m to 4.4m over the period) - Therefore, in absolute terms, Africans now dominate the middle class consumer segment, while white people who stayed have on aggregate become wealthier - The stark reality is that 85% of Africans still remain poor (shown by the red circles), while 87% of white South Africans are in the middle to upper class categories (shown by the green circles)

- A review of the National Budget reveals that in US dollar terms, expenditure has increased by over 3x from $37bn in 1990 to $117bn in 2014 - In 1990, the combined expenditure on the non-productive areas of debt service and defence was 28.5%, compared to only 12.7% in 2014; effectively more than halving as a % of total allocated expenditure - A more prudent fiscal approach has resulted in a reduction in debt service costs from c.15% of total budget allocation in 1990 to just over 9% today - The combined increased spend on social protection, housing and education from 29.3% in 1990 to 46.3% in 2014 of total budget allocation is reflective of changing priorities geared towards human development and a larger focus on narrowing the poverty gap

South Africa’s per unit labour productivity has improved over the last decade by 8% per annum - Productivity output has increased from $8,849 per worker in 2002 to $21,100 in 2013, positioning SA well relative to other growth markets on this measure - However, nominal unit labour costs over the period have risen at a higher frequency than labour productivity - In essence, fewer workers are producing more; however the value of productivity gains are not keeping pace with the rising cost of the workforce - Should SA find a formula for employing more people at a cost lower than the value of associated production, the good news is that individual employee productivity is healthy by global growth market standards and such job creation should lead to expansion of GDP

- 4.6 million people between the age of 15 and 49 in SA live with HIV and 6.4 million of the total population are infected. The expansion of the current ARV programmes and the lowering rate of infection are positive signs of the effects of a rising attack by South Africans on the disease - 4.8 million people are looking for and cannot find jobs, and another 2.2 million have given up looking for work. Together this represents a broad unemployment rate of 34% - 17 million people today live below the commonly used $2/day poverty line - This is SA's triple challenge of HIV, unemployment and poverty still affecting the lives of around one third of the population

An understanding of the nature of SA's unemployment challenge is of paramount importance to effectively address the situation - In the period leading up to 1994, the unemployment rate rose quite significantly as we experienced an era of sanctions, unrest and de-industrialisation. Whilst the chart reflects a steep rise in unemployment from a base of around 9% in 1980, this is probably understated as the former “Bantustan” areas (which were home to high unemployment levels) were likely not reflected in the statistics - Democratic South Africa inherited an unemployment rate of 23% - Unfortunately, this rate has remained static around the mean of c.24% (excluding the broader unemployment definition) - Of the almost 5 million unemployed people, 66% are youth aged between 15 and 34, making it a largely youth unemployment problem - 59% of the labour supply have not completed the matric school leaving qualification

- The “Misery Index” is a global economic tool used to measure the macroeconomic hardship of countries based on inflation, unemployment, GDP growth relative to potential GDP and cost of capital - Not surprisingly, we see that the largest contributor to South Africa’s “misery” score is the high unemployment rate, accounting for 24.9 of the 36.8 index rating as shown by the red line on the LHS graph - GDP, cost of capital and inflation factors are stable and trending lower - The RHS graph shows that in the last decade, South Africa has underperformed on a relative basis relative to other markets.

At the top of the page, we see a gradual worsening of the current account deficit, now at 5.8% of GDP or around $20bn - From 1994 - 2003, the current account deficit was always less than 2%. From 2004 it rose to the lows seen in 2008 of 7.4%, returning to around 3-4% until 2012 when it returned to an elevated level around 6% - This currently places South Africa at the highest end of the spectrum in terms of our peers, as can be seen at the bottom of the page, with Turkey, Brazil and India other high current account deficit countries - National Treasury expects this deficit to remain stagnant at around the 6% level, decreasing only to 5.5% by 2016

- The chart shows the portfolio flows into South Africa over the period, which is particularly important in the context of financing the current account - The volatility of equity and bond flows can be observed over the period, demonstrating the vulnerability of South Africa should we rely on these flows as a major source of finance - The increase in bond purchases (light blue bars) post the 2008 financial crisis as developed market yields fell is clearly noticeable. But as yields inevitably rise in developed markets in response to the tapering of quantitative easing the relative attraction of all growth markets, including SA on a risk adjusted basis, is likely to see a proportional decline in bond purchases. This can be seen in the negative bond purchases YTD in 2014

South Africa, together with India and Turkey, is vulnerable to a reversal of portfolio and external financing flows - The majority of the capital account of $25bn is funded by debt and portfolio inflows. The former gets more expensive to the extent the local currency depreciates and the latter is volatile and uncertain - Therefore, while South Africa needs to revitalise its export sector (in particular mining and manufacturing) and bring down the current account deficit, South Africa also needs to take aggressive steps to attract FDI to fund it. A range of $5-10bn net FDI per annum would significantly assist and improve the quality of financing available - South Africa needs to work hard on improving the framework and picture for FDI by welcoming investors, improving the labour environment, and by decreasing the overall costs and complexity of doing business. South Africa needs to find a better balance of attractive returns for investors whilst requiring investor compliance with empowerment, licensing, taxation and other domestic requirements

The ZAR, one of the most liquid and tradable currencies globally, serves as the shock absorber for these market forces - Historically, the ZAR has been highly volatile. In the 14 years up to 1994 the ZAR/$ traded at an average of R2/$, in the 14 years post 1994 the average was R6.30/$ and in the last 6 years it has been at an average of just over R8/$
3 Although EM currencies are vulnerable as a result of low commodity prices Net commodity exporters expected to experience downward FX pressures
Copper and oil have the closest link with exporter currencies – which is unsurprising given these commodities dominate the share of exporters’ trade balances
Key Trends
After a decade of elevated commodity prices, Goldman Sachs expects the supply response to result in a continued decline in prices through 2014
This presents a high downside risk for large commodity exporting emerging markets (EMs), particularly those with large deficit balances such as South Africa
Copper and oil demonstrate the highest correlation with EM forex movements as can be seen below

- The re-pricing of emerging market (EM) risk in developed markets is augmented by a cyclical macro deterioration – marked by slower growth, inflationary pressure and widening twin deficits in African countries – which we believe is not yet fully priced into the “Africa premium” - The combination of a low growth environment together with a high current account deficit results in increasingly significant vulnerability, evidenced by the few countries in the ‘sweet spot’ of relatively low inflation and high growth - South Africa’s current real GDP growth of around 2% therefore places it at the unattractive end of relative risk-reward quartiling. Increasing growth rates must therefore be a priority

- As household debt to disposable income has built up to 76% now from 57% in 1994, it is natural to expect some "indigestion" from over indebtedness accompanying the rise of the middle class - The growth in unsecured lending is a contributor to the trend (growing by 302% since 2007) - However, unsecured lending makes up just over 11% of total lending in South Africa and so is not a systemic issue for the banking system - The National Credit Regulator measures around 20m credit-active consumers, 9.5m of which have some impairment on their credit records - Examining the non-performing loan ratios and debt recovery rates suggests that around 10% of those struggling with credit could default, slipping back into the lower income bracket, most likely from the LSM 5-6 category

We have analysed the nature of the mix of GDP in the SA economy - Mining and manufacturing's combined contribution to GDP has declined from 38% in 1986 to 21% in 2013. Given their contribution to both exports and jobs, this is a concerning trend - Banking and real estate's contribution almost doubled from 12.5% to 21.5% - Government services increased its contribution from 12% in 1986 to 18.6% in 1994 and, despite an increase in the number of public sector employees, has since declined to 17% in 2013 - Mining and manufacturing's multiplier effect on jobs and its outsized contribution to exports brings into focus the need to revitalise these sectors as critical to the overall health of the SA economy

Despite its relative decline in contribution to GDP, mining remains a crucial aspect of the growth of South Africa, given our rich commodity base - Within the mining sector, platinum, coal and gold account for 66% of the revenue and 81% of direct employment - The future of the coal industry is linked for domestic uses to Eskom. Recent increases in BEE procurement requirements has raised additional hurdles for mining majors - The platinum and gold sectors are experiencing challenging profit margins due to rising costs and labour unrest

- Whilst wage inflation has risen by 11%, productivity in the gold and platinum sectors (measured by tons per employee) has declined around 5% per annum over a 10-year period off a labour force that has remained relatively stable, albeit in a different labour mix between platinum and gold - This trend of rising real wages and falling productivity is clearly unsustainable

- Since 1994, real wages across SA's economy have grown on average by around 4% per annum. The change in average annual CPI inflation (red line) is consistently lower than the average annual wage inflation (orange line) demonstrating the rebalancing of wages that has taken place since 1994. The employed have thus benefited significantly from these gains, however at a cost to broader growth, investment and job creation

- Under President Nelson Mandela, SA witnessed a period of complete labour peace. Although some evidence of industrial action emerged under President Thabo Mbeki, industrial action was muted until 2005 when, in the run-up to the ANC's Polokwane elective conference, labour unrest significantly ramped up. In the midst of and the aftermath following the global financial crisis and post Polokwane with the election of President Jacob Zuma, SA experienced 2 years of relative labour peace. But since 2010, SA has experienced a significant upsurge in violence and strikes, including unprecedented inter-union rivalry and conflict - Overall union membership increased by c.23% over the 20 years to around 3m people - COSATU, with over 2m members, interestingly, has grown its public sector membership from only 7% of its own members at the start of the period to 39% in 2012 - Therefore, the SA Government has, in the ruling ANC parties' alliance structure, not only a political relationship with the unions but an intimate and complex employer relationship with its public sector union partners

The government, to its credit, recently published a self-assessment scorecard compiled by the Department of Performance Monitoring and Evaluation, under Minister in the Presidency, Collins Chabane - The scope of the performance spans across all government departments across the entire public service administration - The horizontal line/axis differentiates between where the government believes it is meeting its own statutory requirements (red and orange) and not meeting their requirements (dark and light blue) - The area of strategic management is the one broad category on which the report ranks its performance a success - But the areas of governance and accountability and human resource management (in particular) are cause for concern as they achieve a 60% and 73% failure rate respectively - Financial management is an area with significant scope for improvement across Government - It is clear that there is significant scope, based on this report, for a dramatic improvement in the public service administration

- Whilst spending on healthcare per capita doubled from 1995 to 2012, life expectancy rose marginally from 60 to 61 years in 2012. Allowing for the effects of HIV on decreased life expectancy, spending increases have seemingly failed to have the desired impact - According to a JET study, in measuring the government school sector across 11.4 learners, schools in rural and medium-poverty areas will likely deliver a poor to medium quality of education to learners, whilst government schools serving more affluent communities will likely deliver medium to best quality education to learners. In aggregate, 8.8m of the 11.4 learners, i.e. 77%, will receive poor-medium quality of education, thereby potentially reproducing another generation of poorly educated children

- When examining government expenditure on health and education, of the $21bn allocated to basic education, 71% is spent on government education employee (salaries of teachers, administrators, principals, inspectors etc.) compensation, while in the health sector, 51% of the $18bn was spent on compensating employees (salaries for nurses, administrators etc.) - A significant component of this workforce is unionised and part of the ruling party's governing alliance with the unions to which these employees belong - Improving the performance and outputs of the education and health sectors requires a more productive and efficient relationship between the Government, as employer, and its unionised employees

- Capital formation as a % of GDP declined significantly into 1994, recovered in the 2000- 2007 period, but since declined - South Africa, and Africa more broadly, has a significant current infrastructure deficit, particularly in power, transport and roads - Financing and executing this infrastructure investment is a key challenge for expanding the overall economic capacity (including facilitating production and exports) and overall size of the SA economy - South Africa, with its' advanced financial and engineering capacity, is well placed, as seen in the building of the 2010 Soccer World Cup infrastructure to implement an ambitious and necessary infrastructure programme domestically and in the region.

Goldman Sachs produces Growth Environment Scores (GES) which benchmarks the performance of countries against various parameters - SA's overall score has marginally improved from 4.7 in 1997 to 5.0 today - The biggest area of underperformance is technology When we benchmark South Africa against the best-in-class growth market peer, South Korea, we identified those areas in which SA lagged by more than 5 - South Africa significantly underperforms South Korea in the areas of patent applications, internet access, personal computers, and R&D - By making improvements in these areas with large potential impacts, South Africa could show significant progress. Finding a way to fund and roll out computers and internet access to communities at large would be one way in which South Africa could address this issue

- South Africa excelled in improving its' sovereign credit rating from non-investment grade BB in 1994 (“junk status") up to investment grade BBB+ (in the case of the S&P rating), notwithstanding the recent downgrade to (still investment grade) BBB - However, it is imperative to focus on maintaining and improving these ratings as any further downgrade (to below investment grade) would have significant knock-on effects on corporates and sovereign borrowing costs

2 Social service delivery improvements
3 A significant rise in the African middle class
4 Integration into BRICs and Africa
5 Transformation of the public service
6 Stability, respect for institutions of democracy and the constitution
But the (youth) unemployment problem remains its biggest vulnerability. Threat to sustainability of fiscal expenditures and defence of the rising middle class remain key risks

10 key issues to address
Public sector 1 - Productivity: “bang for buck” especially in the areas of health and education - Exercise good management practices to meet own performance requirements - Education fit for employment
2 Special focus on unemployed/unemployable youth
Labour pact for 3 - Sustainable growth and employment - Balanced wage/productivity growth
4 Defending the rise of the African middle class
5 Creating fiscal space to sustain spending on the poor by optimising state assets
Driving economic growth through 6 - Promoting industry and driving new frontiers for growth - Building economic linkages with Africa - Creating visible economic wins from “BRICs”
7 Driving FDI through building investor confidence
8 Driving innovation via increased investment in research and development and technology
9 A common effort to protect the sovereign rating and cost of capital
10 Leadership driving a culture of accountability and teamwork
ConclusionConclusion 71
10 initiatives South Africa’s top CEOs would like to see implemented Agenda for unlocking earnings growth, job creation and capital investment
1 A complete overhaul of SA's labour relations architecture - The effect of the current labour relations system is higher real wages for fewer workers, lower productivity and job losses and lower exports - A less restrictive, more responsive labour system with a partnership approach between business, government and labour designed to avoid strikes, drive job creation, attract investment and skill is needed
2 Lifting the administrative burdens on business - Requires simplification of regulatory requirements including onerous license regimes, empowerment requirements, complex planning consents, customs clearing procedures and immigration procedures for hiring skilled expats - Improvement of the public administration and eradication of corruption
3 A flexible and responsive trade policy - Create a more partnership-driven approach between government and business to unlock jobs and growth through a dynamic trade policy
4 Free movement of capital - The removal of the exchange controls architecture would be a progressive step in supporting corporate South Africa’s global competitiveness
5 Administrative excellence - The deployment of capable leaders into the public service to ensure that policies are executed well is a top priority for the 5th State administration
6 Prosecuting corrupt officials - Ensure prosecution with full enforcement of sentences for corrupt government officials. A State Tender Board is seen as a positive in this regard
7 Regional integration - Improving African regional trade and market viability, including improving cross-border logistics and reduced waiting time at border posts
8 Unlocking cheap, clean energy in Africa - Includes accessing viable gas resources in the region, considering Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) imports and collaborating on gas-to-power plants
9 Advancing the provision of infrastructure - Long term stability, availability and affordability of power and other infrastructure is essential to, inter-alia, the mining industry - Efficiency, reliability and productivity, and pricing impacts should be foremost in the minds of the SOEs - Coherence between South Africa’s .cR4.5tn pension funds and other long-term savings and funding the infrastructure is essential
10 Certainty of operating environment - Private sector needs certainty for long term investment and job creation; it’s imperative that regulatory authorities set rules and don’t change them
Conclusion 72
A final thought
Much progress recorded in two decades of democracy
Significant challenges remain
Achievements need to be defended
We live in a “good neighborhood” but a mixed, challenging world
Business, government, labour and civil society “in it together”
We need a “Team South Africa” response
The currency and our sovereign credit rating is the country’s ‘share price’ and ‘report card’
We know what needs to be done, we need effective ‘team work’ and ‘execution excellence’
We have the people and the capital, we have the ‘talent’ and the ‘tools’ to execute well
Leaders across Government, business, labour, academia, institutions and civil society need to take individual and collective decisive actions to improve South Africa’s competitiveness and overall performance
