Zuma places South Africa on altar for his own gain
31 March 2017
Pres Jacob Zuma's appointment of Malusi Gigaba as new minister of finance is part of the ongoing expansion of state capture by the Guptas and at the same time, the reinforcement of pres Zuma's faction within the ANC, said Dr Pieter Groenewald, leader of the FF Plus.
Dr Groenewald says pres Zuma is showing that he is willing to sacrifice South Africa in the interest of himself and his friends. South Africa is now on its way to become just another corrupt African state like Zimbabwe.
As far as Gigaba is concerned, Dr Groenewald said he has no proven financial background or qualifications and therefore does not instil any confidence in his abilities as a minister of finance.
“Pres Zuma's actions are detrimental to South Africa and its residents in terms of economic growth. This will simply cause more poverty, unemployment and the enrichment of a small black elite.
