Affirmative Action and Black Economic Empowerment will stay for as long as ANC is in power – Ramaphosa
3 November 2022
President Cyril Ramaphosa once again confirmed today that Affirmative Action (AA) and Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) will be a part of South Africa for as long as the ANC is in power.
The President made this statement in reply to a question from the leader of the FF Plus (Dr Pieter Groenewald) about retaining AA and BEE, despite growing resistance to its detrimental impact.
The question posed in the National Assembly was whether government would consider doing away with the destructive policy seeing as it is no longer serving any purpose.
It does not address inequality and is a serious stumbling block for the country's economy.
