Kgalema Motlanthe addressed the economic challenges facing South Africa, calling for the establishment of a sovereign wealth fund (SWF) to convert mineral and resource revenues into long-term economic assets. He also advocated for greater use of retirement-fund capital to support domestic infrastructure and noted that lack of secure property rights limits finance access for many South Africans.

He stressed that South Africa needs industrialists and producers to deepen domestic production and create jobs, while also identifying property rights as a key barrier to financial access.
