The African National Congress will reportedly appoint two independent researchers to investigate the viability of nationalising the country’s mines.
The ruling party wants mining companies to help fund the researchers’ work.

ANC secretary general Gwede Mantashe’s remarks in Johannesburg today after a meeting of the national executive committee were interpreted by obsevers as an indication that the state wants a role in mining.
