Ramaphosa also said he supports the establishment of additional banks in South Africa that would focus on offering services to people living in the townships. He said he would like to see a bank that also focuses on small and medium enterprises – which are key to the financial welfare of the country.
This comes amid calls from the EFF and others for the establishment of a state owned bank. Ramaphosa was responding to this question from EFF MP Floyd Shivambu.
