The plan charts a 20 year path towards achieving the overarching vision embedded in the Constitution that South Africa belongs to all who live in it. It breaks the five-year electoral cycle to allow for long-term planning. The plan opens the way for: The mobilisation of society around a commonly agreed set of long-term goals; Greater coherence in government’s work between departments which can only be achieved if there is a common understanding of long-term objectives; and The development of a broad consensus to encourage business and society to think about the long term. This will provide a basis for making trade-offs and prioritising major decisions.
