A call for the South African economy to be decentralized

Loading player...
Independent Economist Mpho Sebashe has made a call for the decentralization of the South African economy.

According to StatsSA, Gauteng and KZN account for 50% of the country’s economy. To put it in context… for every R100 that South Africa generates, R34 comes from Gauteng, R16 from KZN and R50 comes for all the other 7 provinces combined.

Catch up on this conversation and judge for yourself whether Mpho Sebashe makes a compelling case about whether Limpopo can successfully work on developing into one of the strongest provincial economies in South Africa.
