News24Wire reports that Mzwanele (Jimmy) Manyi, president of the Progressive Professionals Forum (PPF), claimed on Wednesday that the private sector was actually the culprit to blame for South Africa’s current economic problems.  

“Government must find a way to tax funds in the private sector.  That is the duty of government.  The duty of the private sector is to create jobs, but it does not want to come to the party,” Manyi said during a panel discussion at the convention of the SA Property Owners Association (Sapoa).  Manyi took on another panel member, political analyst Justice Malala, for the “fundamental error” of insinuating that people were only following the ANC because they were uneducated or uninformed.  In Manyi’s view, there was also nothing wrong with cadre deployment if it was “done properly” in order to create alignment with policies and skill.
