# Business Leadership South Africa warns that the government must accelerate reforms if it hopes to reduce unemployment, currently at 33.2-percent. In her weekly newsletter, the organisation’s CEO, Busisiwe Mavuso, said while progress has been made in ending load-shedding and improving ports, delays in critical reforms such as port concessions pose systemic risks. Mavuso added South Africa needs growth above three-percent within 24 months to start cutting unemployment and restore business confidence.
