The ANC National Policy Conference was supposed to be engaging in “new major thinking” on the back of economic, socio-economic, and fiscal issues, among others, facing the country.

former president Thabo Mbeki lambasted the ANC accusing it of not having an economic plan to address poverty and unemployment.

Speaking at late ANC Deputy Secretary-General Jessie Duarte’s memorial service, Mbeki said, “As I am standing here, we do not have an agreed national plan to address these challenges. Comrade President Cyril Ramaphosa, when he addressed the state of the nation in February, that is where he said that in 100 days there must be a comprehensive social compact to address these matters. Nothing has happened. I am saying, to honour the legacy of comrade Jessie, we got to do something about that.

Booysen says it is rich coming from Mbeki, under whom the Growth, Employment, and Redistribution economic policy was adopted. She says the policy didn’t take the country anywhere and that Ramaphosa only followed “incrementally, cumulatively under economic policies that had already been in place.”Susan Booysen says it’s rich rich coming from Thabo Mbeki to say there’s no economic plan to deal with poverty and unemployment, stating Mbeki “gave us GEAR – a neo-liberal epitomisation that didn’t take SA very far.”
