President Jacob Zuma says
the launch of the Invest SA One Stop Shop in the Western
Cape will make doing business easier and in the process,
attract more investment to the country. The
President said the launch of the centre, where investors
could access a variety of services from government
departments and agencies such as the South African
Revenue Service under one roof, was an indication of how
all three spheres of government could collaborate to cut
red tape.
President Zuma officially launched the One Stop Shop at
the Southern Sun Cape Sun Hotel in Cape Town on Friday,
8 September.
"We need to work together as government, business and
organised labour to ensure that we sustain this positive
trajectory.
"The economy must come first for all of us ¡K We are
establishing the One Stop Shops to make it easier for
investors to do business in South Africa," he said.
The launch of the Invest SA Western Cape comes after the
launch of the national centre, which is located in
Pretoria.
The Deputy Minister of Trade and Industry, Bulelani
Magwanishe, said since the launch of the national Invest
SA centre in the first quarter of this year, 101
walk-ins had been recorded at the centre and 277
investor consultations were done. Four investor
blockages were identified and escalated to the relevant
departments and they were later resolved. Source: ¡V
