Ramusi was speaking this morning at the Public Sector ICT Forum held at the Westcliff Hotel in Johannesburg. The event was hosted under the theme: "Meeting the skills needs of the fourth industrial revolution", organised by ITWeb Brainstorm, in association with MTN Business.

The National Lotteries' CIO detailed some of the implications of the fourth industrial revolution, and noted that embracing change is start towards Industry 4.0.

"The future is all about how we are going to change the traditional way of doing things. If you are not ready for change, the future is going to be a challenge. If we are talking about jobs of the future today, we need to determine what needs to change and how government needs to adapt to the changes."
