CHAPTER 4: sets out specific high-impact interventions for each of the key strategic levers discussed in Chapter 3, which will have to be implemented to achieve the accelerated, shared and sustainable GROWTH the city is seeking.

8 This draft tshwane GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (TGDS) is presented to stakeholders and DEVELOPMENT partners for comment and input to ensure that the city of tshwane (CoT) develop a comprehensive STRATEGY that is supported by all parties. The final version of the TGDS will be formally adopted by the CoT and its DEVELOPMENT partners in November 2006. The rationale for and importance of developing a GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY for the city of tshwane , as is at provincial and national levels, is rooted in a broad and defining national goal of growing the economy so as to deal with developmental challenges confronting the country and the region . This goal underpins government s policy formulation and underscores the urgency and the gravity of ensuring that almost all government actions and efforts are directed toward growing the economy and further ensuring that DEVELOPMENT happens.

9 GROWTH without DEVELOPMENT as well as jobless GROWTH have been witnessed in most developing economies and continue to be a feature of a number of countries including South Africa. History tells us that in highly unequal societies economic GROWTH does not necessarily lead to benefits for the poor. As one of the most unequal societies in the world, South Africa has a pressing need to create the type of GROWTH that is balanced. Producing this balanced GROWTH needs more than just a fuller understanding of the key drivers of modern economies and their binding constraints. There are greater nuances and peculiarities at play in the South African economy, and the tshwane metropolitan economy, that must inform policy and action. The tshwane GROWTH and DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY (TGDS) is thus intended to unlock real and accelerated GROWTH in the city and by extension in the country.

10 In distributing the TGDS to stakeholders and DEVELOPMENT partners (labour, communities, business and government) for comments and input, it is important that all stakeholders and DEVELOPMENT partners share a common understanding and acknowledge the structural challenges confronting both the local and national economy as well as the implications for the tshwane economy. city of tshwane Vision and Mission The city of tshwane (CoT) has adopted the following Vision and Mission statements which underpin all of its efforts: Vision To be the leading international African Capital city of excellence that empowers the community to prosper in a safe and healthy environment. Mission To enhance quality of life of all people in the city of tshwane through a developmental system of local government and the rendering of efficient, effective affordable services.
