Thesis (MPhil)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The period prior to the 1990's marked the ANC as a liberation movement, perceived by
many as being in favour of nationalization and a state controlled economy. The advent of
democracy and the ANC's assumption of political power have, however, seen a change in
the ANC elites' policy rhetoric, practice and approach to policy formulation. This essay
examines the extent to which elite views and attitudes have shifted from nationalization to
privatization. It notes that while the ANC government has been persuing and implementing
Gear and its privatization component, its elite seems to be less supportive and to some
extent ambivalent on the question. In addition, continued implementation of Gear and its
privatization elements, in spite of reservations by the majority of the elites supporting the
ANC, reveals a technocratie nature in approach to policy-making on the part of the ANC-led
government. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Voor 1990 was die ANC oor die algemeen beskou as 'n bevrydingsorganisasie, ten gunste
van nasionalisering en 'n staatsbeheerde ekonomie. Met die totstandkoming van
demokrasie en die ANC se aanname van politieke mag, het daar 'n verandering
plaasgevind onder ANC elite ten opsigte van beleidsretoriek, praktyk en hulle benadering
betreffende beleidsformulering. Hierdie studie ondersoek tot hoe 'n mate die elite se
sieninge en houdings verskuif het vanaf nasionalisering na privatisering. Terwyl die ANC
regering GEAR implementeer met sy privatiseringkomponent, is die ANC elite al minder
ondersteunend t.o.v die privatiseringskwessie; om die waarheid te sê, hul standpunt hieroor
is tot 'n mate dubbelsinnig. Verder toon die implementering van GEAR, en sy
privatiseringselement, ten spyte van bedenkinge onder die meerderheid van die elite wat
die ANC ondersteun, 'n toenemende tegnokratiese benadering tot beleidsmaking aan die
kant van die ANC regering.
