Weeks after ANC president Cyril Ramaphosa asked councillors to replicate the successes of the DA, his political rival claimed the ANC's 10-point plan is almost the same as its strategy to turbocharge the economy.

Ramaphosa on Monday revealed his party’s plan to stimulate economic growth and create jobs.

“The announcement of the ANC’s Economic Action Plan by Ramaphosa mirrors much of the DA’s Plan to Turbocharge the Economy, which identified roadblocks that needed to be removed to build superhighways towards growth and jobs,” said DA head of policy Mat Cuthbert.

“The ANC’s plan just adds its own failed ideas of B-BBEE [broad-based black economic empowerment] and race-based policy to the DA’s plan announced last month.”

Some of the reforms Ramaphosa proposed were necessary to boost economic activity, Cuthbert added, but questioned the ability of the ANC’s political heads to oversee the implementation.
