Public Sector Leaders (PSL) dives into African Industrialisation and all-round awareness this November

In this edition we bring you an update on the local government elections and what COP26 means for South Africa. There is an update on the country’s growing fisheries economy and we take a look at industrialisation in Africa. Our ‘Regional Focus’ this month is on water security in Eastern Cape and our regular feature ‘Financial Fitness’ has some useful advice about how not to go broke over the festive season. We also bring you an interesting Covid update.

Special features include:

• Our ‘Trailblazer’ is Edward (Eddie) Ndopu, who is reinventing activism globally.
  
• We bring you a concise update on the latest news regarding the local government elections.
  
• It’s all about fisheries this month as we look at solutions to creating a sustainable inland fishing sector.
  
• Hon. Lindiwe Zulu, minister of Social Development, is fighting for dignity across SA.
  
• We tackle some ‘Legal Matters’ as we weigh Employment Law up against the Domestic Violence Act.

In his letter to the country last week – From the Desk of the Presidency – our president celebrated the economic investment into South Africa since the first Investment Conference in 2018.

“Through the investments that are now underway, through the work that social partners are doing to expand local production and through the progress we are making on key reforms, we are building a firm foundation for the success of the fourth South Africa Investment Conference next year.

“Most importantly, we are building a firm foundation for a sustained economic recovery that encourages further investment, creating more jobs and providing new opportunities for emerging businesses,” – H.E. Ramaphosa.

It is a busy month for our Public Sector Leaders with the local government elections. The Chief Justice Shortlisting Panel submitted its report to President Ramaphosa and His Excellency attended the the launch of the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid vehicle.

Whether you are in the public sector, the private sector, supply chain or an interested individual, PSL has something for you.

We hope you enjoy the read!
