The ANC NGC which took place in Durban seems to have been a fantastic success with the party elders, and those generally who talk sense, asserting their power and essentially, so the media say, shutting up the hotheads like Malema and others who were threatening all sorts of things. Some will say that nationalisation is to be discussed, but what is to be discussed has been so watered down, and with so many conditions, that it is quite clear that nationalisation is not something the ANC would consider at all. In other words, they essentially said they need to look at other issues such as health that is far more important and it appears in any event, those that raised the nationalisation issue really did not do so without any proper research, referring for example to the Zambian example as a motivation, whereas in actual fact in Zambia the mines fell apart after nationalisation and the government has had to call in business partners again!
