ANC leaders do nothing while state capture ruins the economy, says Mathews Phosa
‘We should be prosecuting those who have raped our economy. We still have time to deport Saxonwold scum and prepare for a coalition government in 2019’
Illegal immigrants are influencing tenders and Cabinet positions, said ANC presidential hopeful and businessman Mathews Phosa, in a veiled attack on the Guptas. Speaking at the SBI Indaba in Fourways about state capture and the Guptas, Phosa said: "They are thieves not invested in our country." He warned that the unstable political environment had a massive influence on the economy. "We have a so-called president described by friends as a ‘gangster like us’, a mismanaged economy because of our SOEs and SARS and NPA [state-owned enterprises, South African Revenue Service and National Prosecuting Authority] are seemingly captured…. Nuclear power is far from shelved, a naughty one will push it," he said.
