Progress Report On Operation Vulindlela

The Presidency and Treasury have said that Operation Vulindlela's structural reforms have gathered pace in the second quarter of 2023. Operation Vulindlela was set up to unblock economic reforms and give effect to the reconstruction and recovery plan President Cyril Ramaphosa announced in October 2020. The operation's progress report states the target date for completing a passenger rail service devolution policy is March 2024. Over 70% of OV reforms have now either been completed or are on track to be finalised within the next year. A minority of reforms – those in the municipal space and the additional reforms that Operation Vulindlela has taken on in the last year – will run beyond the 2023/2024 fiscal year," reads Operation Vulindlela's progress update for the second quarter of 2023. In this conversation, Lerato Mbele speaks to Rudi Dicks, the Head of the Project Management Office in the Presidency about the progress made in reforming areas such as energy, logistics, telecommunications, water sectors as well as the visa regime in order to boost economic growth and job creation.       See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
