Should we nationalise the mines? - Jeremy Cronin
In recent months, ANC Youth League president, cde Julius Malema has called for the nationalisation of the mines. The mainstream media have predictably latched onto cde Malema's nationalisation call with delight. They hope to ridicule the demand and goad senior ANC and government leaders into banishing any thought of nationalisation, once and for all, finish and klaar.
Cde Malema hasn't always helped his case with off-the-wall sound-bites. The impression of a policy being made on the hoof, individualistically, is re-inforced by the fact that we are yet to see any serious attempt at a collective policy document on this matter from the ANCYL.
