CAPE TOWN, Feb 16 (Reuters) - Nationalisation of South Africa's mines and other economic sectors was not government policy, President Jacob Zuma said on Tuesday.
"We reiterate that nationalisation is not government policy," Zuma said in parliament in a reply to debate on his state-of-the-nation address last week.
The ruling ANC's militant Youth League has called for the nationalisation of mines and Zuma said the government could not stop such debate in a democratic country. (Reporting by Wendell Roelf)
