Dawie Roodt: Govt's 'confused ideology' fuelling crime, unemployment

Economist Dawie Roodt tells Tim Modise that South Africa still has the capacity and goodwill to turn back the tide of crime and high unemployment. Reflecting on his recent experience of violent crime, Roodt says to save the young, unemployable and sometimes violent South Africans, the government needs to resolve the ‘confused ideology‘ pursued by the political leadership. He says South Africa has the capacity and potential to grow the economy at 5 percent but is held back due to wrong policy choices and a ‘contemptuous’ public sector.
