Finance minister Enoch Godongwana has emphasised government’s reform interventions, pointing to ‘cheap’ mobile data costs and the improved eVisa system.
The minister noted some of the reform achievements, including in the energy sector, which has seen 22 500MW of private sector investments in renewable energy projects. He also pointed to the “50% reduction in the cost of data for a 1.5GB bundle”.
