Political Overview
     • The society we are striving to build
        – Politics of ANC informed by Freedom Charter
        – These ideas also informed the Constitution of RSA, Act
          108 of 1996
        – GDP
        – GDS/IDP – building a developmental state
     • Developmental state
        –   Improving life of people
        –   Improving quality of life
        –   Building capacity
        –   Sustainable economic growth
        –   Massive infrastructure investment
        –   Aligned resources
        –   Broad based economic development
        –   Green technologies/alternative energy
                                                                   2

ANC Priorities
•   Manifesto commitment
•   Sustainable jobs creation
•   Education and skills development
•   Better health care
•   Rural development
•   Poverty reduction
•   Access to basic services, incl electricity (34m with access to electricity;
    15m without)
•   Energy supply to be more than the demand
•   Reduce environmental pollution
•   Reduce global warming
•   Eliminate theft and vandalism of key national points, such as electricity
    infrastructure

                                                                                  3

Geo-Political-Techno Issues

– Energy/Climate
   • Energy is one of the interesting sectors in the world, it affects everyone
   • Energy security
        – Energy prices
        – Energy supply
   • Energy policy
   • Climate change
        – Developed world will have to reduce emissions drastically
   • Huge gap between energy policy and energy projects being implemented
   • China and India have confirmed that their next generation capacity
     would still be from coal, but they are also introducing alternatives as
     high pace
   • Business unusual = unprecedented decisions
