Business and government acknowledged on Thursday that the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) needs to be more inclusive and representative if it were to have any chance of crafting a social compact that lifts the South African economy out of its current low-growth and job-shedding trap. In an address to the twenty-fourth Nedlac Summit in Johannesburg, Business Unity South Africa (Busa) president Sipho Pityana called for what he described as a “new agenda for sustainable change”. However, he questioned whether Nedlac in its current form was capable of being a catalyst for such an agenda.
