ANC Statement, 5 November 2013 Goldman Sachs Report: Two Decades of Democracy The African National Congress welcomes the release of the report entitled "Two Decades of Democracy: What South Africa Is Doing With It, And What Now Needs To Be Done" by Goldman Sachs yesterday, 4 November 2013. The report makes an incisive assessment of the successes and challenges that have characterised South African society since the advent of democracy. It further lays the foundation for critical engagement on how far we have come and the decisive interventions made in certain areas including inflation, social security while correctly pointing out the areas where together, we can do more. We trust that this report is amongst the first in a series of perspectives which will look back over the road traversed since the democratic breakthrough of 1994 that started the long road towards the society we seek to build. The African National Congress calls upon South Africans to engage the substantive content of this independent, scientific critique and as a nation, deliberate on its findings - cognisant of and in pursuit of our vision encapsulated in the National Development Plan to create a more inclusive, equitable and growing economy. It is on the basis of such balanced and fair assessments that the true success story that is twenty years of democracy in South Africa will be told and, as we move forward, guide and shape our collective vision to create a society that indeed ensures a better life for all.
