Decisive industrialisation is the only path towards economic development and poverty reduction in SA

Part of the Economic Freedom Fighter's contribution to the #SONA2021 was a thematic focus on industrialisation and industrial policy. To unpack this, Thabo Mdluli speaks to Floyd Shivambu, EFF Chief Whip, and Deputy President.

My vote is working overtime wake up South Africa..

[bongilesihlali]

God bless EFF, the hope for SA and African economic freedom. God bless this young man (Floyd Shivambu) and protect him. God bless Julius Malema the leader of EFF.

[cassimmasola]

This guy is a fountain of knowledge. He always makes reference to a case study, indicating that he does not thumb suck things

[sbongamandlamwelase]

sometimes i just feel like Floyd Shivambu is doing the most for the EFF by means of making the party attractive to the voter. The voters don't read Party policies, ever!!, we just vote for a man instead of what he has to offer. Clearly the EFF did a lot of research in trying to come up with such a rich economic plan for SA and that deserves acclaim.

If we start voting for parties on the basis of what they have to offer instead of voting for a man, we'd go far.

I am glad to hear a young South African speaking like this. We also need to change our education and introduce a meaningful style of learning. That means our policy should influence education system. In my view this is not a difficult thing to do.

[noluxolohlophe]

This is absolutely true. I work for toyota south Africa. We once stopped production for 2 days waiting for screws from Japan.

[cypriannzama]

What a breathe of fresh air. We need more people like you. China and Japan use industrialisation very well and they are successful. We don't need financial partners through BBBEE who do not create employment but cheque collection from white monopoly capital companies.

[christophersikhau]

The man is very clear on what need to be done

[nyamadevhutshilo]

Floyd is one of the sharpest tool we need urgently to revive our economy

[gommabangani]

Thank you EFF for saving us. I'll make sure Mthatha votes EFF in the next elections!

[moetimalesela]

The EFF is the solution to our African problems and if it's policy are we'll managed African can enjoy their goods with pleasure

[luzukokaleni]

south africa needs people like you floyd!!!people who are able to quickly asess root cause analysis and the way forward to transforming the economy.thumbs up bru

[lehlohonolonzama]

The reason y many of us, the youth, vote for the EFF is that we also read alot and we scrutinize🤣🤣👌👌

[zombashsamenic]

One of the sharper tools in the toolbox, among many blunt ones.

[PortalsgateBroadcast]

excellent insight and understanding regarding industrialization . what is now needed is translation into reality.

[godfrey]

This guy would make the such a great finance minister. Jealous down bahlali! Much respect EFF.

[kokasi]

I like Floyd Shivambu...he is radical but puts practical solutions forward.

[thewaterlessshower]

It is clear to see why voting for the EFF is the only smart thing left to do...

[thamimaknyiwemhlanga]

Floyd is really highlighting a big elephant in the room and a solution.

You can't disagree with the first principle thinking - breaking things down to its fundamental truth or fact. Power Son of the soil.
