If we can define what the opposite of an <b>old system of unregulated capitalism</b> is, then we might know what our president stands for :

To me this means <b>a new system of centralised, regulated and controlled socialism </b> at least.

I am not an ANC voter, but we have to bare in mind that Thabo Mbeki is doing a ballancing act. He is ballancing between COSATU on the one end and free market capatilism on the other. He has to sometimes say one thing (which might be upsetting) and do another.

I don't trust the ANC much, but understand their predicament. They know as good as we do that socialism will sink SA...

Cheers
