Manufacturing Indaba 2018 kicks off

Manufacturing may have weighed heavily on first quarter GDP - which contracted by 2.2%, but it continues being punted as a potential growth engine for the country. And with the Manufacturing Indaba 2018 having kicked off today, what's being thrashed out are ideas on what it will take to revitalise the sector and its growth potential as we approach the fourth industrial revolution - where Emerging manufacturing technologies are expected to challenge the status quo and transform the industry as we know it.

Philippa Rodseth, Executive Director of the Manufacturing Circle and Tsidiso Disenyana, Senior Economist at the Export Credit Insurance Corporation joined Business Day TV in studio to take a closer look at the potential for Industry 4.0.
