Saying there is a need to pool resources and take deliberate steps to combat poverty and its subsequent implications, Pandor challenged the audience: &#8220;I would like to encourage you to put your heads together and work with each other to find African solutions for African problems.&#8221; She said her department is ready to offer assistance to other African countries through the existing bilateral and multilateral agreements South Africa has with these countries.
