Sona: Economic structures must change: Vavi | News Article
Cape Town - The country's economic structure needs to change if five percent growth is to be achieved, Cosatu general secretary Zwelinzima Vavi said on Tuesday.

Vavi said more focus needed to be put on industrialisation.

He said Zuma did not go "far enough" in his address on industrialisation.
 
Vavi welcomed Zuma's focus on the energy sector. However, he was not a fan of nuclear energy but supported renewable energy.

He bemoaned the fact that there had been forced power cuts again because of the strain on the country's power grid.
 
Vavi had this to say about whether he thought five percent growth in the economy was possible.
