Economic transformation can't be achieved through 'sweet talk' - Malema
5 March 2020
EFF leader Julius Malema has urged black business to disrupt the country's economy in a bid to make it more inclusive.
"You will never transform it if you are going to sweet talk the status quo," he said. He was speaking as part of a panel of political leaders at the 2020 Black Business Council Summit in Johannesburg on Thursday.
"I am happy I'm speaking to black elites here. When you renovate a house there is a disruption," Malema said to applause.
The EFF leader raised concerns around the country's economy, the manufacturing industry, the insurance sector, agriculture and the state of the country's public enterprises.
