The Minister for Economic Development, Ebrahim Patel, in association with the Editor of the Cape Times, Alide Dasnois, and SA New Economics Network Chairman, Joseph Edozien, invites you to attend the first in a series of Policy Platforms entitled The Next Economy National Dialogue.
Twenty percent of South African households have inadequate to severely inadequate access to food. According to the General Household Survey of 2009, this translates into 2 762 400 households. Any dialogue about sustainable economic strategies and the shape of the “next economy” will have to consider how to address this problem.
South Africa is emerging from a month of tremendous excitement which calls for careful reflection. Was this just a passing sporting and economic spectacle or has it opened up opportunities which could give this country an edge as it navigates through the international global crisis?

The Economic Development Department wishes to advise members of the public, particularly those in business, to be alert to a scam utilizing the logo of the Economic Development Department. The fraudsters involved send unsuspecting business operators a Request for Quotations for the provision of Solar Panels.
As the Economic Development Department, we wish to state that we do not have such a project, and therefore beware that the Request for Quotation is not from the Economic Development Department.
Please confirm any request you receive with our Supply Chain Management division on these details 012 394 3579. Report these fraudulent activities to the SAPS or call the Anti Corruption hotline 0800 701 701 or SMS to 39772 or send an email to fraud@economic.gov.za.
