'Public/private sector engagement key'

The Department of Public Enterprises is constantly looking at ways of reducing the cost of doing business in South Africa while at the same time engaging with business in an effort to increase support to them. This is according to Public Enterprises Minister, Malusi Gigaba, who says South Africa’s new infrastructure programmes are all aimed at supporting business. “We are constantly meeting with the private sector. It is important that we continue to look for ways to make the cost of doing business cheap and competitive in relation to other emerging markets involved in similar sectors.”
