Anthea Jeffrey questions why President Cyril Ramaphosa tried to distance his party from the EFF view on state custodianship when his ANC colleagues put forward two clauses on the issue which aren't very different from EFF proposals.
President Cyril Ramaphosa was in full but unconvincing reassurance mode at a media briefing last Thursday. The president told journalists the ANC differs from the EFF and does not want the pending constitutional amendment bill (the expropriation without compensation – EWC bill) to include state custodianship of all land.
Yet, just three days before the president tried to distance his party from the custodianship idea, his ANC colleagues on the ad hoc committee responsible for drafting the EWC bill put forward two clauses on state custodianship that differ very little from those suggested by the EFF.
