For the majority of South Africa, the attitude is one of expectation and entitlement. The African National Congress (ANC) government jargon is to defend the actions of Affirmative Action, and it is written in a manner that fashions the majority as the oppressed, and the minority the advantaged.
Taxes, resources, and farming skills, of the nine percent white and Indian minority, have for decades fed, educated, protected, and healed the majority of South Africa. Now the ANC government who voice the oppression of Apartheid upon the majority, want more and are forcing the minority to solitude.
Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) laws have once again been amended to empower the majority, the previously disadvantaged people with more entitlement. The BBBEE law is a deliberate confusion to strip the minority of assets and will have a devastating impact on the majority who are not equipped or skilled to grow an economy. The BBBEE is the national transformation program of South Africa aimed at redressing imbalances of the past. The BBBEE is a program of transferring ownership, to managing the financial and economic resources to the majority. According to the ANC, it is a law that will give unskilled people an opportunity to prosper.
As more expectations are forced upon the minority group, and skilled, professional people are unemployed, there is a rise in the number of people leaving South Africa. Unskilled and inappropriate people are placed into positions of expertise, and there is the rise in companies forced to close doors, contributing to higher unemployment. When a struggle begins to implement, the BBBEE and expectations are not met, there is a rise in promoting devious, corrupt means.
South Africa is the only country in the world where Affirmative action works for the majority. The Employment Equity law introduced in 1998 explicitly outlawed all forms of unfair discrimination in the workplace. Unfair discrimination would include all South Africans. The government stipulated that no economy could grow by excluding any part of its people. The BBBEE is an inclusive only program for blacks, and the elaboration of the exclusion in the past given to the majority, does not entitle the minority as an inclusion.
