Only BOSA’s plan can unite everyone around a professional government that builds for all
8 May 2024
When BOSA unveiled our Manifesto – The Jobs Plan – we made it clear to voters that our primary focus in government would be to build a working economy that creates jobs, creates wealth, and improves living standards of all South Africans.
Part of that plan outlines how BOSA would build a capable state for jobs. Because growing the economy and creating jobs depends on a capable state machinery that is able to provide basic services to businesses, execute against government plans, and root out malpractice and corruption that halts growth
Today we are here outside the Union Buildings in the nation’s Capital City to expand on this aspect of our plan, as to how we build a professionalised, world class government and a capable state free from corruption.
The lived reality for many South Africans is that at every point when they encounter the government, they experience powerlessness, frustration and poor service delivery. Whether they are dealing with the police, home affairs, or traffic department officials, the experience is one of perennial disappointment.
At the same time that civilians drive over pothole-filled roads, and rely on private healthcare and private security, all citizens are paying taxes for services that they do not receive.
