At our BMI-BRSCU Strategic Forum meeting of 6 July 2011, the draft vision for South Africa was discussed as well as the way in which the building industry can contribute to the achievement of this vision as well as make South Africa a winning nation. The Building Industry wants to align its vision with that of the Country. Accordingly, BMI-BRSCU, on behalf of the Strategic Forum participants congratulate the NPC on its work and suggest that the ingredients for the vision, mission and values are contained in the 9 points as articulated. In order to make the vision memorable and easy to remember, it is recommended that the vision be shortened into a compelling statement, whilst the mission, values and slogan are based on the NPC submission. Vision A democratic state, rooted in the values of the Constitution, working with all sectors of society to improve the quality of life, build a better Africa and a better World. To what extent do you agree with this Vision?

These are infrastructure development, agriculture, mining and beneficiation, manufacturing, the green economy and tourism. We cannot create these jobs alone. We have to work with business, labour and the community constituencies. (Pres Jacob Zuma: SONA: 2011)
