means of spending huge amounts on ridiculously ambitious policies, plans and projects with never a mention of where the money to pay for it all is to come from. I imagine that it is the shortage of funds that fills a desire to nationalise the Reserve Bank, commercial banks and the mining industry. I regret to inform you that should you proceed with such self- destructive tactics; everything that you nationalise will end up in the same condition as Eskom, SA Airways, SAA, Passenger Rail Association of South Africa, Prasa, Denel and others - bankrupt.
