The 7 Economic Pillars of the EFF with Ivo Vegter

“The Seven Economic Pillars of the Economic Freedom Fighters.” That is the title of a report written for the Institute for Race Relations (IRR). In this interview with BizNews, the author of that report, Ivo Vegter, says he did the report because he was concerned about the one-dimensional analysis that one often gets of the EFF, and decided to analyse in detail why EFF policies are either bad policies or why they are good ideals, but won't work. Vegter dissects the achievability - and the consequences - of expropriation of land without compensation; nationalisation; building state and government capacity; free education, healthcare, housing and sanitation; massive protected industrial development; massive development of the African economy; and an open, accountable and corrupt-free government.
