President Jacob Zuma used the start of his closing address at the ANC’s national policy conference to emphasise that the party had come out of a week of discussions united. This is despite reports of heated debate, especially around issues on economic transformation, land expropriation, the nationalisation of the South African Reserve Bank and the term white monopoly capital. "This conference strengthened the culture of robust internal debate in the ANC, anchored on the principle that we can disagree without being disagreeable," he told delegates on Wednesday afternoon. "After all, we are not enemies; we are comrades."
