Nedlac partners sign social compact to support Eskom

A gathering aimed to reflect on the role of the National Economic Development Labour Council (Nedlac). In its 25-years of existence, Nedlac had succeeded in bringing government, business, labour and civil society under one roof, but the Forum still remains largely divided on ideologies.

There’s been progress, but a lot could be achieved. In the face of the country’s worsening socio-economic challenges, the partners are failing to agree on the economic recovery plan that is needed urgently. Civil society has accused other partners of excluding communities in some of their discussions.
