Jacob Zuma called for greater
cooperation between all social partners to spur economic growth and
create jobs, as he delivered his state-of-the-nation address on
Thursday.
A flu-ridden Zuma warned that South Africa was way off
track to meet its job creation targets at the current rate of economic
growth.
"In my last meeting with the business community, the
sector indicated that for the economy to grow three-fold we must remove
certain obstacles," he said.
"We need business, labour and other social partners in pursuit of the necessary solution."
