The first initiative of
the Progressive Initiative is to promote discourse around, and build
support for the establishment of an autonomous special administrative
region within South Africa. In accordance with the principles of the Pi , the aim of this autonomous region will be to raise
the standard of living of as many citizens as possible through the
provision of:
• Affordable housing;
• Free primary health care;
• Free primary and secondary
education;
• A safe environment where personal
safety and property ownership are fiercely protected;
• Economic and social development stimulated by
encouraging entrepreneurship and the employment of skills and capital in
the formal sector while offering alternatives to crime.
The
Progressive Initiative’s manifesto
for the South African Special Administrative region is available online.
Further information about a previously proposed Southern African Special Administrative Region
is available on their website.
