Press Reader (Sunday Times – South Africa) published an article stating that three policy areas suggest implementable solutions that will help to ensure that SA emerges as a more equitable country according to Sherwin Gabriel and Channing Arndt.

Weaknesses in electricity and transport infrastructure, a scarcity of skilled workers, constrained fiscal space, poor institutional governance, and consequent low confidence, reduced the country’s growth potential and ability to achieve its development goals.
