Introduction:
Looking back from 2030, South Africa can congratulate itself on its record of success in both relative and absolute terms since the turning point in its economic performance was brought about soon after the beginning of the second decade of the new millennium. In brief, select highlights include:

• The creation of eleven million new jobs bringing unemployment down, even for an expanded population, to no more than 6%
• The elimination of poverty across the majority of the population
• The reduction of the Gini coefficient for income from an outrageous 0.7 to an, admittedly, far from acceptable level of 0.6
• A notable reduction in corruption and corresponding increase in government capacity and efficacy
• A national health service provided through the public sector free at the point of delivery with a focus on primary and preventative care.
• A major expansion in provision of basic needs such as housing, water, electrification, education and other elements of social and economic infrastructure
• And considerable progress in shift towards a green economy with adoption of new renewable technologies.
