Anthea Jeffery discussed her book “Countdown to Socialism” and the implications of socialist policies in South Africa.
In an interview with BizNews editor Alec Hogg in July, Dr Anthea Jeffery unpacked her new book Countdown to Socialism.
According to Dr Anthea Jeffery, the ambiguity of Dr Msimang and the ANC masks a long-standing socialist agenda aimed at preserving popular support.
In this interview, Dr Mavuso Msimang says Anthea Jeffery’s well-publicised interpretation of ANC policy got it badly wrong.
Magnus Heystek, a long-time Anthea Jeffery ‘groupie’, explains how her book on the NDR carries critical messages for all South Africans.
This extract from Anthea Jeffrey’s latest book examines the initial phases of the NDR following the transition to democracy in 1994.
The ANC’s economic blueprint, the National Democratic Revolution, was created in 1950s Soviet Union to convert capitalist states to communism. Despite its record of destruction, the NDR remains the ANC’s lodestone.
Their economic world view does not contain the solutions to the electricity crisis. The ANC and its SACP alliance are useless to us now.
Known as cadre deployment, under-skilled politicians have occupied positions in SOEs and public administration for decades at great public expense.
The NDR is a programme designed to move South Africa from capitalism to socialism, Anthea Jeffery writes in this piece.
