The Chamber of Mines has noted the puerile and insulting responses of the ANC Youth League to observations made on nationalisation of the mining industry by the Chamber's outgoing President Sipho Nkosi. The contribution that the League makes to sensible and enlightened debate on issues of national importance is lamentable and is consistently characterised by a crude proclivity to descend into abusive and intimidatory rhetoric. At the right time, in the correct forum and with individuals and institutions appropriately qualified to participate in a logical discourse that is not contaminated by vacuous utterances, the Chamber will constructively and vigorously present its well considered perspectives on the issue of nationalisation.
