The Democratic Alliance has
raised its concern regarding the country’s economy which it deems is going in
the wrong direction.
This is after the World Bank’s
Doing Business report for 2015 revealed that South Africa’s economy dropped six
places overall in the world ranking from 37th to 43rd.
DA MP of Trade and Industry Geordin Hill-Lewis said
The DA’s top priority is job
creation.
Hill-Lewis said we know that by making it easier to run a small
business, by improving trade with Africa, and by positioning ourselves to
attract more investment, we can get South Africa’s economy growing again.
Hill-Lewis said this will require creating an economic environment in
which businesses can grow, not one in which it is becoming more and more
difficult to do business.
“While
the ANC’s rhetoric about its “good story” continues, the proof is in the
pudding its policies and its leadership are the biggest hindrance to job
creation and economic growth Hill-Lewis added.
