Business calls for soul searching on Nedlac’s future amid big socio-economic shifts

While reaffirming its commitment to the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac), organised business has again questioned whether the structure’s current composition and functioning are “fit for purpose”. Delivering the business constituency’s report at this year’s summit, which also marked Nedlac’s thirtieth anniversary, outgoing Business Unity South Africa CEO Cas Coovadia highlighted key areas of priority for business, including rethinking the economic growth strategy, accelerating infrastructure development and reconfiguring government to enhance delivery.
