Chairperson of SAPNAC Hon Temba Mliswa gave a solidarity statement at the recent SADCOPAC Conference in Lesotho.
Hon Mliswa spoke about the need to work on domestic resource mobilisation for African countries since foreign direct investment has not proved to be the economic panacea that we all thought it would be.
"As we have seen with the Chinese such investments have come with their own baggage of challenges. As for Zimbabwe in particular we once flitted with a possible solution to the empowerment of locals through the Indigenization Act (51%-49%).
"It was controversial but the underlying idea was very noble and sought to advance the cause of the formerly neglected locals by empowering them.
"Changes that were introduced in 2018 through the Finance Act and subsequent amendments were clearly premised on beliefs FDI would work wonders but that hasn't happened yet.
"Though the Indigenization Act can be accused of mainly creating opportunities for a few elites, capital flight and destabilising financial markets, those are issues that can be dealt with if the law is modified and corruption is dealt with.
"The central idea here is to mainly control and benefit from our own resources.

The parties have agreed to the need for effective collaboration with a view to promoting coordination, coherence and complementarity in the promotion and protection of good governance, fight against corruption and parliamentary oversight over public accounts and spending.
The purpose of the MoU is to provide a framework of cooperation and facilitate and strengthen collaboration between the Parties, on a non-exclusive basis,in areas of common interest.
To this end, the Parties will act as strategic partners in matters of common interest to them in accordance with the provisions set forth and the respective programme of work, priority activities, internal rules, regulations, policies administrative procedures and practices applicable to each Party.
As SAPNAC, we unequivocally support General Mkhwanazi as a principled leader advocating for transparency and accountability.
We will closely monitor the developments surrounding this matter.
It is encouraging to recognize the presence of individuals within public institutions who are willing to resist prevailing norms for the benefit of the populace and to expose corruption.
We urge the South African government to implement corrective measures to address these issues.
For more traction, we urge others to step forward and reveal the pervasive corruption that exists not only within governmental entities but also across society at large so that the law may take its course.
