Operation Vulindlela (OV) has reported significant progress across several structural reform programmes, including electricity, freight logistics, water and sanitation, visa reform, local government and digital public infrastructure, as government seeks to accelerate economic growth and improve service delivery.

According to the Operation Vulindlela Quarter One 2026 progress report, reforms implemented since April 2026 have advanced across the initiative's seven priority areas.

Operation Vulindlela Phase II is a joint initiative between the Presidency and the National Treasury aimed at accelerating structural reforms to support faster and more inclusive economic growth while improving the delivery of public services.
