The ANC has not "shifted" its policy on the nationalisation of mines, ANC president Jacob Zuma said before the close of the party's national general council in Durban.
"There has been no policy shift arising from this NGC with regards to our economic policy and other economic policies," Zuma said.
"There should be no ambiguity and confusion arising from this matter." Zuma said now that the ANC Youth League had tabled nationalisation and the possible establishment of a state mining company, the matter had become "an issue of the whole organisation".
"This is no longer just a Youth League issue," Zuma said to
cheers from around 2000 delegates.
"The NEC will undertake research in this regard as part of its
preparations of the ANC's national policy conference in 2012.
"The NEC must be broad in its outlook and look at a number of
issues.
"Minerals and petroleum are recognised by law as the national
assets that belong to all in South Africa with the state as
custodian."
