The Western Cape government's "Growth for Jobs Strategy" is being launched later this month. Western Cape Premier Alan Winde gives a sneak preview – and details a raft of positive developments in the province. He discusses the latest plans to counter the "biggest blockage" to the economy – electricity and energy. And he tells BizNews how the province's residents are being made safer with "boots on the ground" in murder- and crime hotspots. Meanwhile, new schools are being built fast, with one for 500 learners completed in just 65 days. Premier Winde also gives optimistic feedback on his recent trip to the United States (US), where talks were held with big investors and the US Government on AGOA, amongst other matters of bilateral interest. – Chris Steyn Learn more about your ad choices.
