President Cyril Ramaphosa says government must strive to be an entrepreneurial state by being more innovative, by taking risks and adopting an investment driven approach in its leadership. Ramaphosa says government has often outsourced the services consultants to address its lack in capability however that has not yielded positive results. Ramaphosa says the role of the state has once again been brought into the spotlight by COVID-19 which now presents an opportunity to bring about transformation in government. The President was participating in a virtual master class in governance led by World renowned Economist and member of the South Africa's Presidential Economic Advisory Council Mariana Mazzucato.
