Over the weekend the Alliance between ANC and the South African Communist party held an economic summit.

The focus of our Summit was to consolidate the economic policy perspectives that will inform common election manifesto as a move towards an ANC-led election campaign in the coming months.

Cosatu’s spokesperson Patrick Craven says the summit was paving a way for the changes that will take place in government priorities in the next five years.


Craven says the summit did not only discuss economic issues only but a whole range of issues ranging from trade, agriculture as well as unemployment.

He added that ‘all of these challenges require fundamental micro-economic interventions that transform the structural character of our economy.’
