In 2000, Dr Wiseman Magasela published an insightful and thought-provoking article titled “The Invisible Black Professionals”. The article aptly and succinctly describes the current state of dispossession and marginalisation that black people are still experiencing within the South African economy. He stated the following, “If you are black in South Africa’s world of work, it is a daily struggle against a system that constantly alienates you, aiming to exclude and sideline you.
Mohale’s sentiments are reminiscent of the historical struggles of liberals to deal with the challenge of white privilege and one would hope that he would use his position to contribute more meaningfully to the transformational objectives of the country.
This is the kind of conversation that the likes of Mohale should be introducing into the public discourse as opposed to blindly downplaying and ridiculing the achievements of the democratic government. One would also like to add that it is only the ANC-led government that has shown such a commitment to uplifting and empowering black businesses and black professionals – in other provinces and municipalities that are run by opposition parties this is not even an afterthought.
Not really. By shrinking the economy they make it harder for any business
This is patently false...
