President Cyril Ramaphosa is steering South Africa through a pivotal moment in the nation's journey.

With the G20 Leaders' Summit set for Johannesburg in November, his presidency emphasises a dual focus: economic renewal at home and African-led solutions on the global stage.

Central to the domestic agenda is inclusive growth through industrialisation and infrastructure. Under the Medium-Term Development Plan, Ramaphosa highlights structural reform, job creation and poverty reduction as key goals. “We must lift economic growth to above 3%,” he said in the State of the Nation Address. “To achieve higher levels of economic growth, we are undertaking massive investment in new infrastructure.”
