what is the point of this proposed nationalization?
Zambia tried doing nationalisation of their copper mines and they were apparently losing $1m a day, and now they are back to what it was before nationalisation and zambia has one of the better growth rates in Sub-Saharan Africa, better than South Africa's.
curveball, but the royal Bafokeng are not a government owned entity,their obligation is to the Bafokeng people and not luthuli House.If you were to look at all the government owned entities ( Denel, Transnet, Eskom, Postbank etc) which one of these companies in the past ten years has not gone to government for a bail-out? when they are supposed to be the company's giving back to government its profits..
this shit could work, a perfect example is the Bafokeng tribe, who have one of the biggest platinum deposits in the world, they have improved the area they control in terms of infrastructure development, healthcare and education...
yes corruption is a problem and it wrong but im sure if you give our people about 300 years of doing it they would be smart about it and disguise it so nicely that it is presented as normal. The fact that mine workers go down to the bottom of the earth risking their lives looking for gold and they get paid salaries that make them not to be able to afford a gold chain is the worse kind of corruption, and we see it as normal.
We have to educate our current flock of potential businessmen and mining magnates and then nationalise, by putting them in control of the a**ets and ensuring the profits from these go towards educating and improving the people's lives, instead of ending up in some fatneck bastard's pocket.

Some believe it is about protecting civilians, others say it is about oil, but some are convinced intervention in Libya is all about Gaddafi’s plan to introduce the gold dinar, a single African currency made from gold, a true sharing of the wealth. “It’s one of these things that you have to plan almost in secret, because as soon as you say you’re going to change over from the dollar to something else, you’re going to be targeted,” says Ministry of Peace founder Dr James Thring. “There were two conferences on this, in 1986 and 2000, organized by Gaddafi. Everybody was interested, most countries in Africa were keen.” Gaddafi did not give up. In the months leading up to the military intervention, he called on African and Muslim nations to join together to create this new currency that would rival the dollar and euro. They would sell oil and other resources around the world only for gold dinars.http://www.globaliamagazine.com/?id=1175
