ANC’S 10-POINT PLAN IS UNREALISTIC

IN THE more than 30 years of its government, the ANC has had enough time to develop policies to grow the economy.

- 

Listening to its January 8 Statements, followed by the State of the Nation Address and the Budget Speech, will leave many believing that indeed the party was serious about changing the economic fortunes of the country.

What it presents on paper has always been divorced from what it does once it finds itself with state power.

It ends up having to spend more time defending itself against allegations of grand-scale looting of public funds by some of its most senior members.
