As the North West University (NWU) marks the tenth anniversary of its Policy Uncertainty Index (PUI), the data shows that a decade on, uncertainty is increasing and much of the frustrations of the past decade are the result of South Africa not capitalising on its true potential. This was highlighted by speakers at the commemoration of the PUI anniversary, in Sandton, on July 2, where the PUI for the second quarter of this year was also released.
