CAPE TOWN cheap jordan 12 doernbecher , May 27 (Xinhua) -- Despite economic hardships, South Africa would not change the target of achieving a five-percent economic growth by 2019, President Jacob Zuma said on Wednesday.
"We recommit to it (the target) because all of us in the country have to make the effort and play our part, to achieve inclusive growth," Zuma said in a debate on the Presidency Budget Vote in the National Assembly.
Zuma set the goal in his State of the Nation Address in February.
"We reaffirm this target, knowing fully well that jordan 12 retro doernbecher , it is not going to be easy to achieve it," Zuma told MPs.
In its quarterly report on Tuesday, Statistics South Africa (Stats SA) said the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) slowed down in the first quarter of 2015, increasing only 1.3 percent, compared to the 4.1 percent year-on-year growth in the fourth quarter of 2014.
Due to the grave impact of the country's electricity crisis on the GDP, the World Bank expected South Africa's GDP growth to be two percent this year.
The Stats SA report "helps us to keep track of progress and to enhance our efforts" jordan 12 doernbecher for sale , Zuma said.
The government has interventions in place which are igniting growth, said Zuma.
He named four big challenges that hinder the growth: the current electricity shortage, the availability and cost of broadband, a regulatory environment that is cumbersome and labor market stability.
"All of these are being addressed," Zuma said. "Government has completed a medium term outlook model for the supply and demand of electricity."
To increase supply, the national electricity utility Eskom is implementing a structured maintenance program to ensure that the availability of all power stations is improved jordan 12 doernbecher freestyle , according to Zuma.
Eskom has also commissioned the supply of 100 Megawatts from the Sere Wind Farm in the Western Cape, while 827 Megawatts of cogeneration contracts have been signed, adding much needed capacity, the president said.
The Department of Energy has a program to procure additional supply using Independent Power Producers, he said, adding that the additional supply will come from coal jordan 12 doernbecher release , renewables and cogeneration.
"Economic growth will not be achieved by government alone. It takes all sectors – business, labor and politicians," Zuma said.
JOHANNESBURG, Nov. 21 (Xinhua) -- South African President Jacob Zuma on Friday called for global efforts to end racism in sports.
South Africa adds its voice to the billions others throughout the world that are determined to do everything possible to say no and to put an end to racism in sports, Zuma said at the the Global Watch Summit Against Racism in Sports, taking place in Kempton Park jordan 12 doernbecher 2017 , southeast of Johannesburg.
"The world cannot allow sports to be used to perpetuate ideas which divide humanity and limit the ability of people to work together for development regardless of race, skin colour, creed, religion, gender and sexual orientation," Zuma noted.
There have been unfortunate and shocking incidents of blatant racism in sports being displayed around the world jordan 12 doernbecher , in tennis, basketball and soccer, to name a few, said Zuma.
"We call upon the entire progressive humanity to frown upon racism in sports and to do everything humanly possible to put an end to it."
Zuma said racism in sports will not end unless actions to achieve its end are related to efforts to exorcize the demon of racism in society in general.
"I am saying this because what happens in sports is a true reflection in microcosm of what happens in society generally."
It is against this background that sports people must not just defend their sports against racism but must skilfully use sports to actively participate in the struggle to eradicate racism in society as pursued by the entire progressive humanity, Zuma noted.
To end racism in sports, Global Watch has established a Global Barometer on racism which is meant to check the adherence to the charter by sporting personalities and other stakeholders.
Among the expected outcomes of the two-day summit is a roadmap, based on a basic set of principles, on how the world can conquer racism, as well as a global charter to be adopted by the United Nations.
SAN FRANCISCO http://www.jordan12doernbecher.com/air-jordan-12-doernbecher.html , Jan. 27 (Xinhua) -- French scientists have found that people's biological clock can be a vital factor in fighting inflammatory disease such as fulminant hepatitis, a new study suggests.
Scientists from the National Institute of Health and Medical Research (Inserm), Pasteur Institute of Lille and University of Lille in northern France have worked on the links between biological clock and inflammatory disease.
Through experiments on human cells and mice, they discovered that the anti-inflammatory action of a biological clock protein could block the onset of fulminant hepatitis by easing symptoms and increasing survival rates.
The findings of their study were carried in the latest edition of Gastroenterology.
Fulminant hepatitis is a serious disease that has no effective cure, except liver transplant within 24 hours after the onset of its symptoms.
The illness can cause rapid deterioration of tissue ad liver function in patients, in addition to blood coagulation disorders and irreparable brain damage.
The French scientists found a biological clock protein called Rev-erba air jordan 12 retro doernbecher mens , which notably targets adipose tissue, together with liver, skeletal muscle and brain cells.
Their experiments on human immune system cells and on mice established the fact that inflammation follows a circadian rhythm.
Test results of mice, which received Rev-erba-activating treatment, showed less severe forms of the disease and a higher survival rate.
