JOHANNESBURG Feb 10 (Reuters) – South African
President Jacob Zuma said on Friday nationalisation of mines
was not the policy of his government.
“We are very clear … nationalisation is not ANC or
government policy,” he said during a televised breakfast
briefing. His comments appeared aimed at laying to rest
speculation over government intentions for the mining industry.
“Our policy is mixed economy,” he added.
