In terms of economics, our economy continues to tank and stagnate. We underperform against average global growth and are growing at less than half the rate of other emerging markets. Without sustained and meaningful economic growth, we simply will not increase economic participation and inclusion, nor halt rising unemployment. Add to this the fact that, whilst the current governing party tries to feebly stimulate growth, we do so as the global economy enters uncertain times and begins to enter an era of drift, at best.
