8 Our country is, however, still confronted with the triple challenges of inequality, unemployment and poverty as highlighted in the national Development Plan (NDP) and the Presidency Twenty-Year Review. As we enter the second phase of our transition from apartheid to a national democratic society, we have to embark on radical socio-economic transformation to push back the triple central objective and mission of Government s developmental agenda, outlined in the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF) 2009-14, is to set the country on a higher and sustainable trajectory of economic growth. The Department of Energy (DoE) was mandated with ensuring security of supply of Energy resources and pursuing an Energy mix that includes clean and renewable resources to meet the needs of the country s fast-growing economy without compromising our commitment to sustainable development.

9 During this MTSF period we will continue to strive toward supporting our national objectives of improving the economy and jobs, economic infrastructure, rural development, human settlements, local government, and protection and enhancement of our growth and development, including the creation of decent work and investment in quality education and skills development, are at the centre of Government s programme. Infrastructure development is one of the programmes identified to boost our economy and reduce Energy sector has been shown to be an economic game changer globally and, for south africa , Energy is the catalyst to revolutionise our economy and drive economic transformation. However, the current global Energy situation is faced with many uncertainties. These include the complex environmental and climate change issues, in which Energy is a major player.

10 There are also the persistent global economic challenges still faced by some of our major trade partners as well as continuing turmoil in the Middle East and Ukraine. All of these impact on our Energy security and therefore our uncertainties, and how the DoE will respond to them, however remind us that, as a nation, south africa needs to engage in a national dialogue about our Energy future. How do we meet the imperative of ensuring a sustained and secure supply of Energy , especially cleaner Energy ? In taking on this debate, we will continue to build and strengthen relations within the Southern African Development Community (SADC) and the African DoE operates in this dynamic global environment, as it takes on the substantial domestic challenges. We have a determination to deliver on the goals and objectives that we have included in our Strategic Plans, as our contribution toward the priorities and outcomes of Government.
