WTO-TRADE GVC roundtable
At a roundtable convened by the TRADE research entity at the NWU, Dr Tebogo Makube from the Industrial Procurement Chief Directorate of the dti spoke about the government’s (re)industrialisation drive and the role of local manufacturing in strengthening South Africa’s capacity to produce value-added goods and gain easier access into Global and Regional Value Chains.
Mr Martin Cameron, an associate of TRADE, built on Dr Makube’s presentation and examined the concept of local content and procurement from a renewable energy perspective. He looked at some of the challenges associated with formulating a clear local content policy for the power sector in South Africa, mainly because there are so many stakeholders with their own individual objectives and concerns.
