Panyaza Lesufi, Premier of Gauteng Province, announced that the seventh administration has no plans to alter any of the policies set by its predecessor led by the African National Congress.
Speaking at the Huawei Africa Connect conference in Sandton, Lesufi emphasised that the new government of national unity will not consider any policy changes or shifts.
“We will accelerate policy transformation,” Lesufi stated. “We will work with businesses to bring about change and improve service delivery. The new administration, once sworn in, understands its mandate to collaborate effectively.”
Lesufi highlighted digital transformation as crucial for enhancing service delivery.
“The world is changing today, the fast will beat the slow – and we don’t want to be the slow. Governments want to embrace digital transformation, and we are ready to embrace it.”
He is particularly focused on leveraging digital solutions to combat crime in the province.
“We seek ideas that will ensure we have CCTV cameras and innovative digital information systems to identify those who aim to disrupt the province,” Lesufi concluded.
