More Still Needs To Be Done To Pull Many Out Of Poverty: Ndou

While the African National Congress ANCs economic policies have gone some way to transform the local economy, more still need to be done to pull many out of poverty. Thats according to Dr Levy Ndou of the Tshwane University of Technology, speaking to SABC News.

Ndou says the ANC has made a big impact in terms of women empowerment since democracy.

As the ANC commemorates its 113th birthday , with just more than 30 years leading South Africa, experts say while a lot has been done, there is still a long way to go to solve the countrys socio-economic challenges.

The partys economic policy documents stated it should be geared towards amongst others building a competitive, fast-growing and developing economy which creates sufficient jobs for all work seekers, redistribution of wealth, income and opportunities in favour of the poor and the historically disadvantaged and a society in which sound health, education and other services are available to all.

Dr Levy Ndou of the Tshwane University of Technology says having policies in place is not enough.
