SANPC's mandate is to navigate these global headwinds—to protect our economy, drive the strategic pivot to gas and petrochemicals, and ensure that the ultimate beneficiary of our resources is always the South African people.

1. A Pragmatic, Resource-Led Future: He affirmed the government's unambiguous commitment to developing our national endowments, including oil and gas, to drive economic growth and ensure energy security.

2. A State-Led, Partner-Driven Model: He clarified the state's role in leading development through a strengthened SANPC, creating a stable environment for new private partners who align with our national agenda.
