Radical transformation a marathon, not a sprint - Davies
21 June 2017
Pretoria - Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies who sat beside President Jacob Zuma as he chaired the Black Economic Empowerment Advisory Council workshop on Tuesday, said radical economic transformation is about going to the roots.
“I’m not going to saying anything different from what the president said on a few occasions. Radical means going to the roots, that’s what it means,” said Davies whilst addressing reporters on the outcomes of the workshop held at the CSIR.
The workshop was focussed around Radical Socio-Economic Transformation.
Davies said it was not a matter of whether or not things were done badly in the past, but that radical transformation was a matter of going to the roots in order to bring about changes in the structure of the economy, patterns of ownership, control and participation.
