Quotes

"It was a strategy of balkanisation, not of the country's geography (as De Klerk had originally attempted), but of its economy," Klein wrote. "This battle was successfully executed under the noses of the ANC leaders, who were naturally preoccupied with winning the battle to control Parliament. In the process, the ANC failed to protect itself against a far more insidious strategy - in essence, an elaborate insurance plan against the economic clauses in the Freedom Charter (of the ANC) ever becoming law in South Africa" Naomi Klein further wrote
...They in turn will hire some of the remainder - seven jobs each and you will reach the 11 million NDP job target ahead of time. As Steve Biko said: "Handouts do not improve your self-esteem: doing it for yourself does."
...The economy, by and large, had been left the way it always had been and that had to change. "We need to break the glass ceiling here, where it is not only about black people owning the means of production, it is also about people getting jobs." -Sapa
