ANC secretary-general Gwede Mantashe has accused Zimbabwe\u2019s Zanu-PF of using Julius Malema\u2019s party to destabilise the ANC in Limpopo.<\/p>\n

Mantashe also accused Malema\u2019s Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) of distorting the Freedom Charter.<\/p>\n

He was addressing political journalists and their editors during an ANC monthly political briefing in Joburg on Monday.<\/p>\n

Mantashe said the EFF\u2019s call for grabbing land without compensation and the nationalisation of mines had been influenced by Zanu-PF.<\/p>\n

He said the EFF had adopted Zanu-PF\u2019s policy despite the fact that Robert Mugabe\u2019s party had destroyed the Zimbabwean economy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe EFF has the influence of Zanu-PF. There have been active engagements between its leaders and with Zanu-PF. Zanu-PF is using them to destabilise the ANC in Limpopo.<\/p>\n

\u201cZanu-PF destroyed the economy of their country. In 1980, the value of the Zim dollar was R1.50 and today it has no value. It is a massive destruction of the economy. I do not want South Africa\u2019s economy to collapse,\u201d Mantashe said.<\/p>\n

He also lambasted Malema for allegedly distorting the ANC policy on land, saying the Freedom Charter never advocated nationalisation of mines and land grabs without compensation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Freedom Charter never wanted to take land by force. The charter states that the land is owned by all those who work it. We never propagated the nationalisation of mines. It is not what the Freedom Charter is saying,\u201d Mantashe said.<\/p>\n

He said the ANC would not encourage a Zimbabwean-style land grab but would rather allocate farming land to people who had a passion for farming.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are not going to give people farms who will in future just use these farms as places for weekend braais. We are going to give land to peasants who are going to use the farms to succeed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mantashe said his party was looking forward to the establishment of its proposed task team to be set up by President Jacob Zuma. One of its priorities would be to stabilise the mining industry. – The Star<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
