MAKING CENTS:
ANC targets Reserve Bank mandate, wants more flexible

monetary policy
A review of the SA Reserve Bank mandate features in the
ANC’s election manifesto, which brushes off the push
for nationalisation, but instead drives for a more flexible
monetary policy.
At the party’s election manifesto launch in Durban on Saturday,
the ANC finally elevated the debate to possible government
policy, some years after the status of the Reserve Bank became
a contentious subject within the party.
The commitment has placed an obligation on the ANC to
implement the decision should it win the May general election. 
The Reserve Bank is a public institution but it has an
independent mandate.
Echoing the delegates at the party’s 2017 Nasrec national
conference in Johannesburg, the ANC’s manifesto states the
Reserve Bank should pursue a flexible monetary policy regime,
aligned with the objectives of the party’s programmes.

WHAT THE FAMOUS

1. Nomzamo Mbatha roasted for Arthur Mafokate picture

Twitter for taking a picture with disgraced Kwaito star Arthur
Mafokate.
The photo was taken on Saturday at the ANC's election manifesto
launch in Durban.

The ANC, however, condemned Mafokate's 'conduct'.
“The African National Congress condemns the conduct of
Arthur Mafokate at its Manifesto Launch rally on 12 January 2019
when he stormed the stage uninvited and caused undue mayhem.
While the ANC has worked with and supported Mafokate over many
years, however, reports of his alleged abusive conduct towards a
female accomplice go against the values and policies of the ANC
which denounce gender-based violence,” the ANC said in a
statement.
The party distance itself from Mafokate and apologised to Mbatha.
Mafokate is accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, musician Cici
Twala.
Cici had to undergo a hip replacement operation after the incident.
People took to Twitter to share their disappointment with Mbatha,
who's a known activist and humanitarian.
But, she has since explained why and how the picture was taken
after fans called her out.
NOMZAMO’S RESPONSE TO TWEET:
Nomzamo Mbatha
✔@NomzamoMbatha

I’m cringing with you.
I was walking past, post the concert and looking for my manager
when he greeted and whipped out his phone for a picture. Being
polite I absent ‘mindedly’ obliged
I’m definitely not a fan and I’m sorry I wasn’t present enough to say
“FUCK OFF, no thanks.”
The Good Sis @_NonhleShandu
I’m ready to catch a block, but I’m very disappointed in you Sis. I was
rooting for you yazi? @NomzamoMbatha. Awusahleki next to that
woman beater. Yho hhayi sisi.
