Duma Gqubule’s most recent column refers (“GDP will languish despite positive right-wing GNU vibes”, September 10).

I have heard the ANC called a lot of things, but right-wing is not one of them.

The DA has very little say in the government regarding economic direction (or any possible improvements) as it has been kept away from all of these ministries.

The real “painful reality” is that if you borrow too much money (the opposite of austerity), and cannot pay it back, you go broke.

Guess where SA is at the moment... So my question to Mr “Anti Austerity” Gqubule is: what exactly would be your plan to ignite the economy?
