Prominent South African politician, Julius Malema, is attributing Africa\u2019s developmental challenges, including those faced by Ghana, to a departure from Dr. Kwame Nkrumah\u2019s values and an excessive focus on privatizing key state assets.<\/p>\n

In an exclusive interview with JoyNews\u2019 Maxwell Agbagba, the founder and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters stated that a corruption-free, state-led development approach, with less emphasis on privatization, is the solution to the continent\u2019s woes.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cWell if you drift away from Nkrumah\u2019s principles of state-led development and you prioritise privatization of strategic sectors of the economy, you\u2019ll never address the issue of unemployment because the interest of business is to maximize on profit and every time you privatise something strategic, the first victims of privatization is the workers.<\/p>\n
