@Uncle_Thaps They pledge to create 200 000 "job opportunities". Meanwhile there are 25 million unemployed and the number is increasing with the closure of businesses and retrenchments in the public service. I learnt in proceedings that by merely advertising a job it is a job opportunity.

Not every foreigner is a law breaker. Some foreigners are involved in drug trafficking, human trafficking, armed robberies, etc. They do all these aided and abetted by locals. We must blame our government for porous borders, corruption infested police and home affairs department.

Listen carefully.
From this, it appears that he, and the government he leads, are of the view that the State should have a limited role in the economy, and it is the Private Sector that drives growth and development.
You see it, in the latter portion, where he posits that (State) monopolies in network industries invariably lead to inefficiencies and competition unlocks that. He then says, without supporting it, that the privatisation (by stealth) will lead to lower costs over time.
I’m not certain how this all tracks with the dream to build a Developmental State. Neither am I certain that it is tracks with the evidence we see across the globe where even developed countries such as the UK are attempting to roll back their Thatcher-era privatisation policies. They do so, having realised that the promised efficiencies and lower cost to consumers have not materialised, and instead it has simply enriched Big Business and their friends in politics.

The President’s view on the role of the State intrigues me immensely.

Monetary and Fiscal policy are the primary movers of the economy. Together, they determine if the economy builds factories or financial assets.
Ex. When policy rate is restrictive, then fiscal policy may need austerity to support financial asset accumulation via privatisation.

Go to sleep knowing this: the collective that governs us found room to cushion fuel, but none for paraffin. Under the SMNRP for IP, it rises by up to R15.60 per L. The very energy the poor cook with, heat with, survive on. That contrast tells you everything!! Goodnight! 🇿🇦💔

A good move: the executive cannot dictate to the elected representatives.

The move by the EFF, which is outside the government of national unity, has far-reaching implications for the national treasury's revenue-collection levers, which until the VAT challenge were left unbothered for decades. Link in comments.
