South Africa's Finance Minister, Pravin Gordhan on Tuesday took one of the strongest stances yet from a Cabinet Minister in SA to rubbish talk that SA should nationalise its mines.
During an interview on CNN, he said there was "no merit" to arguments put forward by former youth league leader Julius Malema to nationalise mines.
