Finance minister Enoch Godongwana has outlined some of the progress that has been made by Operation Vulindlela – a flagship initiative to accelerate the implementation of key growth-enhancing reforms for South Africa.
Speaking during the release of the Operation Vulindlela report on Friday, minister Godongwana said that since its inception Operation Vulindlela has fast-tracked a number of critical interventions aimed at sustainably increasing the rate at which the economy can grow and create jobs.
“Government intends to provide a subsidised set-top box to any indigent households that have not yet migrated and complete switch-off in remaining provinces. “The backlog of water use license applications, which stood at close to 1,000 outstanding applications in April this year, has been cleared as a result of a turnaround plan supported by Operation Vulindlela. This will unlock billions of Rands in new investment in agriculture, forestry and other sectors that was held up by outstanding license approvals.”
The finance minister said that the department is putting in place a range of measures to improve the quality of water services at municipal level.
