The mayor said people got excited over a newspaper headline that misquoted him.
However, Masina said during the meeting that he was not in agreement with everything Malema had said, but only the call to “nationalise all commanding heights of the economy”.
“I had attached what Malema said in a statement and I then qualified specifically where me and him agree. I won’t take it back because to nationalise all the commanding heights of the economy is what we’ve been calling for. That must not be reduced to disrupting white business. I was not part of that conversation. I challenge members to go and check what is it that I said. White monopoly capital as a system is what we need to address here.
