Illegal disruptions of projects in Kwazulu-Natal to top the Agenda when Premier Mchunu and MEC Zikalala engage with Provincial Captains Of Industry
The issue of interruptions which have stalled multi-billion rand projects in KwaZulu-Natal will be among issues to be discussed when KwaZulu-Natal Premier Willies Mchunu and the MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs, Sihle Zikalala host the KwaZulu-Natal Growth Coalition Business Breakfast to be attended by members of the business fraternity in the province.
The annual function serves as a platform for vigorous engagements between government and the captains of industry with respect to their common objective of promoting economic growth and development in the province that takes into account the transformation agenda. At the same time the social partners attend to challenges that are perceived as potential impediments to achieving growth to enable equitable participation by all sections of the province’s population.
“Industrial stability is fundamental to the creation of a conducive environment for business to thrive. Our province has seen the increase of conflicts or dissatisfaction relating to a number of factors that include the perceived lack of access to business opportunities. It is therefore our concern that unless immediately resolved, these tensions have a potential to have adverse impact on our collective campaigns to attract investments to this province,” said Mr Zikalala.
