> Combrades I have been following the debate around this issue on whether Utata sold the black people, which issue remains relevant on who should and how to control the country's wealth.
I can't resist myself to ask a question whether this debate is premature or not? It is good in principle to debate legacy of Nelson Mandela in particular whether when he left prison Nationalisation of country's wealth was a given for him, which issue when the ANC assumed power became mute( 1994 era)and now the issue has come to the shore. Why I ask the question: Recently and now we are experiencing another setback of this move in the NDR in the form of land redistribution and restitution where farms are given to the previously disadvantage communities (PDC) and these farms remain uproductive. PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG I'M NOT SUGGESTING IN ANYWAY THAT PDC CANNOT DO WITHOUT THE MINORITY. All I'm arguing is that the essential requirement of capacity to manage these resources is still lacking mainly to the majority of PDC and therefore this exercise has proven not to be an option. If my understanding is correct I would think that it will be an intelligent move to first empower ourselves on how to effectively run our country's wealth before taking full control of the resources. By the way it took years for the Boers to systematically introduce apharthied and empower themselves to effectively run our country's wealth. I sincerely do not think that we can raise this debate at this stage of our democracy and insist on taking control of the wealth while we have practical examples of such initiatives that fell through the crack viz the lack of skills and capacity to effectively run and manage the country's wealth. In conclusion Nationalisation of country's resources is a vital issue in the NDR and must not be ignored at all cost but should we be mindful as to when the issue can be raised and possible implemented. Can anyone aks why the issue is being raised at this stage of the NDR?
