Failing ANC policies led SA into economic recession
6 September 2018
The news that South Africa is in its first recession since 2009 will further burden South Africans oppressed by poverty and unemployment.
The crisis is a direct result of the ANC government which has failed to provide the necessary leadership and policy certainty to grow the economy and open access to jobs for approximately 10 million unemployed South Africans.
This is not “a result of a prolonged trend of slowdown in economic growth” as the governing party claims and it is not a ‘Zuma hangover’. This economic tragedy did happen in isolation, it is the outcome of the collective arrogance and poor planning on the part of the whole ANC.
The fact is, six months into his tenure as President, President Ramaphosa has failed to inspire confidence or prove that the ANC national government has turned over a new leaf.
