Leading a South African delegation of seven Ministers and several private-sector chairpersons and CEOs, President Jacob Zuma has arrived in Davos, Switzerland to attend the World Economic Forum 2016.
 
Zuma was confident that the country would be able to present a solid investment case, despite the difficult global context.
 
"South Africa has proved to be a resilient economy, which is the outcome of the solid economic fundamentals that have been laid since the advent of democracy.

“Building on this success, the National Development Plan provides a basis for collective action by all of us in the country to stabilise the economy, build confidence, raise the level of investment and return South Africa to a path of inclusive economic growth,” he commented.
 
He added that the delegation would send a strong message that South Africa was committed to strong fiscal discipline.
 
Zumna was accompanied by Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan; Minister in the Presidency for Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation Jeff Radebe; Trade and Industry Minister Dr Rob Davies; Water and Sanitation Minister Nomvula Mokonyane; Economic Development Minister Ebrahim Patel; Energy Minister Tina Joemat-Pettersson and Heath Minister Dr Aaron Motsoaledi.
