Question 1 of 8
Government owns and controls all large businesses and runs the economy through regulation. Salaries are regulated to ensure all are equal. Land is expropriated without compensation and is owned by the state.
Government stays out of business and creates an environment for private businesses to flourish. Business creates jobs. Business set salaries according to performance or the scarcity of the skill. Land is traded at market value.
Question 2 of 8
Government provides all electricity, rail and runs a national air carrier through state-owned companies. Government decides on all appointments and takes charge of building roads, rail, power stations using government money and expertise. Private business stay away from infrastructure.
Government allows the private sector to generate energy, run rail lines and all airlines are privately-owned. Competitive markets and minimal regulation ensure low prices.
Question 3 of 8
Private sector and foreign investment is discouraged. Government must use taxes on the rich and pension fund reserves to finance economic growth through state companies. Business must be regulated and taxed to serve the people.
Government must do all it can to encourage local and foreign investment to build the private sector, which is the engine of growth and jobs. Government must stay away from policies that deter investment and provide policy certainty. Red tape must be cut to make investment easy.
Question 4 of 8
Crime is caused by social problems such as poverty, homelessness and poor education. Rights, including those of accused persons, are sacrosanct and must be protected at all costs. While crime must be fought, the only way to really solve crime is to tackle the underlying causes.
Crime is caused by greed and a disregard for the lives and well-being of citizens. Police must act with urgency and force to crush criminals. The courts must act quickly to impose harsh sentences, even if this means fewer rights for criminals.
Question 5 of 8
Corruption is serious but there are more serious crimes such as murder which deserve closer attention. There is no society where there is no corruption. Corruption can be rooted out with better education and better pay and incentives for public servants.
Corruption is a criminal act which robs society of fairness and benefits criminals and their cronies at the expense of the majority of hard-working people. Corruption must be rooted out by empowering the law enforcement agencies to deal with serious crimes. Sentences for corruption must be harsh and trials must be speeded up.
Question 6 of 8
The constitution stands in the way of transformation. Economic inequality has flourished despite the constitution. The constitution and the law give too many rights to criminals and illegal immigrants and prevent the government from dealing with them harshly. We need to do away with the constitution and be governed only by the people.
The constitution must be honoured as the supreme law of the land. The constitution protects and defends democracy and ensures that the rule of law is applied to all. The constitution defines the South African nation. Thanks to the constitution we have kept democracy alive.
Question 7 of 8
Government should be in firm control of all health and education in the country to ensure all have equal access. The National Health Insurance scheme is essential to make access to health fairer for all. Strong trade unions are essential to protect workers in health and education.
A strong private health and education system is essential to complement government health services. The NHI is a disaster in the making as the public sector will fail to make it work and it is expensive. Trade unions should stay out of health and education which cannot afford to be disrupted by strikes and protests.
Question 8 of 8
My party must pay special attention to my race, religion, language, or culture.
My party must represent all races, religions, languages and cultures equally.
