ANC obsessed with race

- Willem Cronje Cape Town

The great myth of our political time is that the ANC has “good” policies that just need to be implemente­d. Wrong. Indeed, we are fortunate that ANC policies have not been implemente­d effectivel­y.

Why? The ANC would no doubt protest, but it is evident from ever-tightening racial employment regulation­s that the core policy of the governing party is to re-establish apartheid in SA, with every ethnic group to be measured against an irrational demographi­c dream.

The ANC is obsessed with race. Central to ANC policy is job reservatio­n, which was also the keystone of the white apartheid regime. Eighty percent of senior jobs are over time to become the preserve of black Africans, 8% for whites, and the same proportion­ally for other groups.

Just as apartheid collapsed under its own weight, so will the race-obsessed policies of this government. Only then will our country grow.
