1 day agoGauteng Premier Panyaza Lesufi has unveiled a bold economic playbook that places public‑private partnerships (PPPs) and strong government capability at the heart of the province’s growth strategy. Speaking at the Gauteng Investment Conference, Lesufi emphasised that unlocking capital and accelerating development will depend on a coordinated effort between government and private investors.
Lesufi argued that successful economic transformation starts with getting the basics right — tackling crime, ensuring reliable infrastructure, and aligning skills training with industry needs — to make the province an attractive investment destination. As he put it, unless Gauteng addresses lawlessness and service delivery bottlenecks, investors will look elsewhere.
The Premier highlighted three core pillars of his approach — skills development, infrastructure delivery, and state capacity — and declared that a capable government is essential to convert plans into real outcomes.
Reflecting on past success, Lesufi pointed to the Gautrain, a PPP project that nearly doubled in value over two decades, as proof of concept. Building on this model, Gauteng plans to scale PPPs to new transport links and regional connectivity, aiming to create thousands of jobs and spark long‑term economic momentum.
