POVERTY & INEQUALITY
OBJECTIVE TO REDUCE POVERTY & INCOME
INEQUALITY
•
The poverty rate is targeted to be at least 25% by 2020
(MEGDP) & at least 5% by 2030 (Vision 2030)
•
Reduce the Gini-coefficient in Mpumalanga to at least
0.60 by 2030 (NDP & Vision 2030)
•
The proportion of income earned by the bottom 40% in
Mpumalanga should rise to 10% by 2030 (NDP & Vision
2030)
11
POVERTY
•
•
•
•
POVERTY RATE REDUCTION
The share of population in Mpumalanga below the socalled lower-bound poverty line (of StatsSA)
declined/improved to 36.2% in 2013
2013 lower-bound poverty line = R513 per capita per
month
In 2013, Mpumalanga’s share of population below the
lower-bound poverty line was the 4th highest
(unfavourable) among the provinces and slightly higher
than the SA rate
The number of people below the lower bound poverty
line declined from 1.998 million in 2009 to 1.52 million
in 2013 – a decline/improvement of 480 892 people
12
INEQUALITY
REDUCTION IN INCOME INEQUALITY
•
•
•
•
•
The Gini-coefficient in Mpumalanga was unchanged between
2009 and 2013 at 0.62
Income in Mpumalanga was therefore as unequally distributed in
2013 than in 2009
In 2013, Mpumalanga’s Gini-coefficient was the 3rd highest
(unfavourable) among the provinces, however, lower/better than
SA’s Gini-coefficient of 0.64
The proportion of income earned by the bottom 40% in
Mpumalanga remained unchanged at 7.5% between 2009 & 2013
Mpumalanga’s Palma ratio declined/improved slightly from 6.63 in
2009 to 6.53 in 2013
•
The Palma ratio reveals that for every R1 of total income that the
poorest 40% earned, the richest 10% earned approximately R6.53

CHALLENGES & CRITICAL
QUESTIONS
Growth challenge – negative impact of international & national economy and
structural challenges, provincial economic drivers not performing well,
importance of the development of other industries such as agriculture and
tourism with a high labour absorption, important role of MTPA
Importance of investment to stimulate growth – clear provincial investment
strategy and also on district and municipal level? Role of MEGA especially to
attract FDI!
Importance of cooperation/collaboration and partnerships with the private sector
– importance and relevance of LED/RED to increase growth, economic
interventions from DEDT – looking at different funding models for development
projects
Job creation challenge – focus on the youth and also employability challenges,
questions about the sustainability of CRDP & EPWP jobs, importance of job
tracking, SMME development
HIV challenge – importance of impact of interventions from DoH
Good progress with basic education but still some challenges with ANA,
Mathematics, throughput rate, quality of grade 12 certificate etc - questions
about skills and more specifically relevant skills for the labour market
(employability)
Back to the basics with basic service delivery! Important for investment!
Importance of evidence-based research & decision making in Government!

INVESTMENT
• Most problematic factors for doing business in SA according
to the Global Competitiveness Report 2014-15 – restrictive
labour regulations, inadequately educated workforce,
inefficient government bureaucracy, corruption, inadequate
supply of infrastructure, policy instability, poor work ethic,
crime & theft and access to financing
• According to the latest report on Doing Business (in South
Africa), the following are some the challenges and obstacles
in starting a business: getting electricity, trading across
borders, registering property, getting credit and enforcing
contracts
• Barriers to investment in Africa, including South Africa,
according to the latest survey of EY Africa – unstable political
environment, corruption, weak security, poor basic
infrastructure and lack of skilled labour
• Importance of political and socio-economic stability for
investors!

POVERTY & INEQUALITY
CRITICAL ANALYSIS
• Improvement in the share of population below the lower bound poverty
line & distribution of income since 2009 more or less the same
• Increase in social grants responsible for some improvement in poverty rate
– Approximately 1 million grants pm (R459 million pm) in 2009/10 to 1.3
million grants pm (R704 million pm) in 2013/14
• Despite impact of social grants, job creation the most important factor to
impact positively on poverty
• Reduce poverty by building & developing capabilities of workforce on a
broad scale
• Labour market inequality central to overall inequality & poverty
• Skills constraints push up the premium for skilled labour, inducing large
differences between salaries of skilled & unskilled people and thus raising
levels of inequality
• Income inequality can most effectively be reduced by improving the labour
force’s skill levels and thus removing the premium for skilled labour – income
inequality can’t be reduced without good quality education
• Interventions should be aligned to socio-economic status of specific area
36
POLICY RESPONSE

NDP ECONOMIC INTERVENTIONS
The national development plan will be achieved through:

•
•
•
Improve skills base through better education & vocational training
Raise exports – specifically in mining, construction, manufacturing,

Increase investment in social & economic infrastructure to lower costs, raise
productivity & bring more people into mainstream of economy
Reduce regulatory burden in sectors where private sector is the main
investor to achieve greater capacity & lower prices
Increase size & effectiveness of innovation system & closer alignment
with companies that operate in sectors consistent with growth strategy
Improve functioning of labour market to help economy to absorb more
labour, through reforms & specific proposals concerning dispute resolution &
discipline
Improve capacity of the state to effectively implement economic policy
Greater cooperation between public & private sectors, sometimes through
PPP’s
Corruption - capacity of corruption-fighting agencies needs to be enhanced

MPUMALANGA VISION 2030:
PRIORITY OUTCOMES
•
In line with the principles of the NDP, V2030 highlights the following socio
economic outcomes as priorities:
• Employment & Economic Growth
• Education and Training
• Health Care for All
• Social Protection
•
These priorities do not imply that the “normal business of government”
should be deferred, but rather aim to focus the activities and decisions of
the Province on key areas, leveraging high impact for improved and
sustainable long term socio-economic development in Mpumalanga
•
The achievement of these outcomes is further dependent on the critical
success factors described as “mechanisms” and “conditions” below
