Why, but for the anger and bitterness of the black majority, can it not be class based as opposed to race based? Blacks advance BEE/AA (\"Pay-it-black\") because of one reason only- they can..

document.write("I am a white male in SA. Yes, BEE and BBBEE may seem unfair etc. But I've come to realise from the elections that the most of the people in this country are poor, uneducated blacks.This is a result of apartheid. These people are likke skeletons in the cupboard, results of our past faults and we have to deal with these \"skeletons\" or else we're doomed to have leaders like Zuma and Malema for ever, because only when people start to be come independant and start earning their own money will they stop placing their hope in ANC's empty promises that they'll be getting everything for free. I agree that a BEE policy impemented corectly, would beefit this country. a policy that encourages mentorship e.g. an educated white guy may mentor a an idependantly thinking, willing and hard working black guy to take up a similar position in another company. A country is only as strong as it's weakest link.   . ");

document.write("BEE may sound good but will never work in a 1000 years, blaming the past is great but does not solve the problem. PDI's should get off their asses and get working. Go into the townships and see who owns the small shop there, Nigerians and other not our own people, why because they want things for free, come on guy's lets help our people to get up and get going. Don't blame whites, yes the system was no good in the past and we know this, but to sit on your#####and blame the past only creates oppertunities for the others that will look past this. To get political about it is also not going to help. GET GOING. . JJ");

document.write("No doubt apartheid has put this country backwards and denied a lot of opportunity to black people, however what makes you so sure had they had the opportunity they would have made the most of it? Look around mate. Look at every other country in Africa with few exceptions. Hell look no further than our neighbour. Zimbabweans are well educated and business savy yet look how they have destroyed themselves even if it is a few ruining it for everyone. This is often the case.<br /><br />Sorry dude but the problem with african mentality (generalising here) is that there is no vision meaning the attitude is to plunder everything in front of you at all costs rather than to set some aside for the future.. jim");
