'It can't be business as usual, economic privilege must be addressed' - Jackson Mthembu
29 August 2019
In order to accelerate the task of overcoming poverty, inequality and unemployment, new ideas need to come to the fore and "it cannot be business as usual".
This is according to Minister in the Presidency Jackson Mthembu, who gave the keynote address at the inaugural Social Justice Summit hosted by Stellenbosch University's law department and chaired by Professor Thuli Madonsela.
The summit's speakers include economists, activists, members of the law fraternity and health practitioners.
Helen Zille, Busisiwe Mavuso, FW de Klerk, Professor Jonathan Jansen and others were also on the programme to speak during various panel sessions later on Thursday.
