# President Cyril Ramaphosa says increasing the competitiveness of South African industries will continue to depend on reliable enabling infrastructure in energy and logistics. He delivered the keynote address at the 30th Anniversary of the South 32 Hillside Smelter in KwaZulu-Natal yesterday evening. In the last ten years, the Hillside Aluminium smelter has contributed around 35-billion-rand to South Africa’s gross domestic product.
