Survey shows 38 percent want nationalisation

Some 38 percent of South Africans believe that mines should be nationalised, according to a survey of 2000 people released on Monday.

"The level of agreement differed considerably by race, showing that this could be a very divisive issue," said TNS Research Surveys in a statement.

"In a survey of 2000 residents of South Africa's metropolitan areas conducted in February 2011... [it was] revealed that 38 percent of metro adults feel that South Africa's mines should be nationalised.

"TNS said that 28 percent disagreed and a considerable 34 percent gave a 'don't know' response -– a much higher 'don't know' response than usual, suggesting that the pros and cons of the issue have yet to be fully explicated to people."

The research found that black South Africans were more in favour of the idea than whites.
"Amongst those venturing an opinion, blacks are in favour by more than two to one, whilst whites are not in favour by almost three to one, with an absolute majority being negative (56 percent).

"For the other two race groups, opinions are equally divided. This is clearly a difficult and potentially emotive issue."

Afrikaans-speaking people were the most negative about the idea while Tswana speakers were the most positive.

  1. This mean 62% don't I would say?
    When mines are pillaged will the farms who have invested in SA's future be next? Then what about a persons house?

  2. TESTIMONY ON HOW I WAS RESCUED BY A GOD-SENT LENDER..

    Hello everyone, am writing this Testimony because am really grateful for what Mason Diego did for me and my family, when I thought there was no hope he came and make my family feel alive again by lending us loan at a very low interest rate of 2%. Well I have been searching for a loan to settle my debts for the past three months all I met scammed and took my money until I finally met a God sent Lender. I never thought that there are still genuine loan lenders on the internet but to my greatest surprise i got my loan without wasting much time so if you are out there looking for a loan of any amount i would advise you to email Mr Diego via: { diegoloancompany@yahoo.com } and be free of internet scams. thanks...
