RP says, Black South Africans Are Not Equipped to Compete Equally In The Economy

RP says Black SAns are not equipped to compete equally in the economy

Responding to comments made by Labour Minister Nomakhosazana Meth that employment equity policies need to be expedited, the Referendum Party (RP) says that the ANC is unfairly discriminating against ethnic minorities in South Africa in direct contravention of the Constitution in order to compensate for its own glaring failure to substantively reduce inequality.

Less than one in three black South Africans will grow up with a father in their home and only half will complete matric. In contrast, eight out of ten white children will grow up with a father in the home and seven out of ten will pass matric. On average, white South Africans score 28 points higher than their black counterparts in IQ testing.

This is a damning indictment of ANC policy over the last three decades. Rather than overhauling a system which produces grossly unequal outcomes, the ANC persists in trying to legislate the pretence of equality in the form of representivity. This can never succeed no matter how draconian the attempts become.

RP Leader Phil Craig says, “This destructive obsession with race-based policy is catastrophic for South Africa. Not only does it result in gross institutional racism against ethnic minorities, but it robs black South Africans of the opportunity to compete as equals. The ANC are failing black South Africans every bit as badly as the National Party did.”

The Referendum Party is currently finalising a Constitutional Amendment Bill which would end all race-based policy in South Africa.
