The South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) wishes the ANC well in the forthcoming conference to be held in Mangaung and trusts that the debate will be constructive and ultimately provide policy certainty. SACCI appreciates that the conference is an internal ANC matter and looks forward to pragmatic policies to emerge from the meeting. SACCI trusts that any interaction with the public regarding the decision made at the conference will exhibit responsible leadership and sensitivity to investor confidence.

The fact that investors closely watch the outcome of the conference speaks to the influence of the ANC and the international convention to monitor the policy development of important political parties, especially in this volatile economic environment. In a globalized economy, foreign investors have become important stakeholders, especially because of our financing needs to facilitate economic development.

SACCI hopes that the conference will proceed constructively and productively.
