Abstract

Significance AA forms a core part of Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) -- a policy designed to address the racial inequalities inherited from the apartheid era. It is politically popular, but critics allege BEE facilitates graft and is costly for business. Impacts The main opposition Democratic Alliance's oscillation on whether it supports BEE will dissuade many black voters from supporting it. The opposition Economic Freedom Fighter's call for nationalisation of industry will resonate with unemployed black youths. The ANC will struggle to achieve its goal of creating '500 black industrialists' given the weak outlook for the economy.
