Our ANC-led government in Gauteng agreed on a vision to build a seamless and integrated, globally competitive Gauteng City- Region. We work closely with local and national government, especially through the NCOP. We also decided to build a city- region characterised by social cohesion and the economic inclusion of our people. We later adopted our 10-pillar programme of radical socioeconomic transformation, modernisation and reindustrialisation, in line with our National Development Plan. The three- tier governance architecture has yielded positive results, even though much more still needs to be done.
