South Africa: Zuma urged to radically transform economy

SOUTH AFRICAN President Jacob Zuma was urged yesterday to propel “radical economic transformation” ahead of his address to the nation last night.

In an editorial in the South African Communist Party’s (SACP) online magazine Umsebenzi, the party said Mr Zuma must remain focussed on the challenges still facing the country 23 years after the end of apartheid.

“He must present a clear analysis of our structural problems as a nation, and the way forward,” it insisted.
