Anthea Jeffery: Economic Empowerment for the Disadvantaged must replace BEE...

The Institute of Race Relations’s Head of Policy, Anthea Jeffery, puts the final nail into the BEE coffin.

Sharing research into how more than 80% of Black South Africans are sick of the ANC’s elite enrichment programme and would support a voucher-based alternative like the one successfully applied in India and elsewhere.

She explains that even the SACP admits BEE is the primary cause for SA’s disastrous economic performance for the past decade and a half.

In this powerful interview, Dr Jeffery explains how a fairer, globally-tested alternative is preferred by the majority and spark a transition that would inject energy into SA’s moribund economy.

She spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
