You can't put money under mattress and expect economy to grow

Duma my fav straight n direct no sugarcoat off the script n from the sharp mind

How does a government invest when resources are being siphoned out of the country.

Tell them Duma you have been telling the country for so many years but they didn't listen now they are lying

This country is in fast decline, don't they see that?? The mind boggles!!

The lies being told by the ANC to the masses are pathetic, and criminal. And I don’t hear anyone opposing them loudly enough.

Love watching Gqubule's interviews. His ideas are so ahead of their time in these ANC-led administrations. You can tell from how eloquently he articulates his arguments that he is a brilliant, brilliant mind.

This dude must be co opted into the government post 29 May he has a real grip on what needs to happen

Ramapoesa was talking about the growth of the couches at Phala Phala.... Dubai was built in the past 25 years, as was most of China....

Economic growth is not a priority to the ruing party. They are toiling to prove themselves right at every chance they get.

Ramaphosa always talking nonsense

Solution = #VoetsekANC

Thabo is top notch news anchor

Duma is top notch news anchor

I’ve been listening to Duma for a while. Very enlightening. It would be interesting to find out who he’s going to vote for.

I lost 4 businesses as jobs were shedding constantly only those businesses with extremely big reserves survived and or prospered 😮😮😮

No matter how you look at it, we need to vote ANC and DA out. Phakama fighter

The ANC lives in a Fairytale world!

Ramaposa need to answer about the dollars found in the sofa plus under the 🛋 sofa and Phala phala

Never is focus on growth.. But always on inequality, its absurd. Can you point to a country without inequality? Can you point to any historical country without inequality? Can you show me what a society without inequality look's like in practice? Waisting time, resources while poverty is actually solvable.

Thabo does not get it. 😂😂😂❤

Vote DA save South Africa 👍

Doing away with the minimum wage will increase investment which in turn will increase demand. The DA has it right, I don’t see what’s so difficult to understand here.

Ramaphosa is living in dilusion.wahafa.Anc was given a country which is rich now it resembles zimbabwe.load shedding,no jobs water shortages,companies closing.

ANC should learn from Rwanda which will grow 7% this year

Wonder if they(ANC) believe what they are saying when they watch these interviews

Duma Gqubule is a top economist in my view, hope he stays out of Government for as long as he could. Hopefully state economists are taking notes, even if they don't agree with him.

I blame financialization of the economy - government should be implementing economic policies that redirect resources/capital away from the financial sector/real estate and into economic sectors that have high absorptive capacity for labour like manufacturing, construction, mining, etc.

Al the cash is sitting waiting for acjhange of government even the western Cape is spending double what gauteng is spending WTF😮

We are being made to believe in senseless trickle down economics while our lives trickle away...😮

Can this economist quantify the hidden economy in the black cash economy 😊

south africa has neoliberalism problem in which we cannot solve basic problems

2million new jobs is a start.

Private sector jobs create taxes and wealth to grow the economy. Public sector jobs don't create wealth to grow the economy, they recycle internal structural wealth that steadily erodes away, eventually causing job losses. Create a better business environment for the private sector to grow instead of chasing them away with BBBEE and Red Tape restrictions, problem solved! (Yawn)

The Apartheid economy was designed to meet the needs of a few. Nothing changed since 1994.

Zuma is a ghost only his makkers can see this empty suit waste of time

The EFF is right on economy and unemployment

Whether we like the ANC or not, the truth is the ANC found a broken country with a GDP of $118 billion dollars and it is now $490 billion. Even GDP per capita has increased. These functionalities by the way are not the only way to measure development. It's a dishonest appraisal. Yes there are grave misdemeanors but this is a completely dishonest appraisal of measuring development when you simply use economic growth and not apply other indices. He also does not apportion the lack of disinvestment to the private sector that sits with trillions of dollars in their coffers. He conveniently forgets to mention that between 1999 to 2007 there was a global commodities boom in which all countries whose economies are commodity driven benefitted handsomely hence the said uniform growth rate of 4% across all those countries. He also makes alot of contradictions.

I don't care about the growth rate of other countries,whether they are good or bad.We don't live in malaysia or uganda!those governments don't have to take care of south africans.stop this nonesense of wanting to oint out what goes on in other countries when ours is doing poorly.nobody cared what nigeria's economy was doing when south africa was no.1 in africa.now all of a sudden we must draw comparisons when we have dropped down the list.
