We in South Africa need to develop our manufacturing sector as a whole, at the same time that we are adapting technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution to the productive process. This would require for us to have inward state led industrialisation and must include policies and programmes. It will strengthen the role of SOEs, protection of manufacturing and infant industries, state banks to provide interest loans to small businesses, state ownership of strategic sectors of the economy and co-ordination between the needs of the economy and the skills produced by the education system.
