Seifsa president sees new political climate as opportunity to revive metals sector

Steel and Engineering Federation of Southern Africa (Seifsa) president Elias Monage has described the establishment of the Government of National Unity (GNU) as an opportunity to revive the metals and engineering sector by fixing the basics and raising infrastructure spend. In an address reviewing the past year, he said attracting the investment needed for higher levels of growth would require an ongoing stabilisation of electricity supply, alongside efforts to “fix the very basics” in the areas of water, freight logistics, crime, and visa administration.
