BEE: Helping or Hurting? by Dr Anthea Jeffery is the first comprehensive review of BEE policies since 1994, and Dr Jeffery tackles this question head-on. She examines AA in education & employment, along with the BEE codes and BEE in mining and elsewhere. #IRRMakingHistory

Did you know? 💡 Black unemployment in SA today is worse than it was before BEE started two decades ago. BEE has only worked for the cadres, crooks, and cronies. It’s time for an alternative that works for everyone: bit.ly/3vtwdbU

Did you know? 💡 Even government admits that employment equity policies like BEE have failed SA. Apartheid-era racial engineering plans are keeping SA back. It’s time for an alternative that works for everyone: bit.ly/3vtwdbU

"If a black skin in South Africa today remained a cause of poverty, why at all is there something like a black millionaire and billionaire class – or even middle class? Did these people somehow ‘white’ their way to wealth?" – Hermann Pretorius #WhatSACanBe 🇿🇦

Did you know? 💡 Government holds almost 80% of all SA’s businesses hostage with BEE, forcing them to compromise success to enrich cadres & cronies. BEE undercuts SA’s massive potential while only benefitting a few at the top. The IRR has a better plan: bit.ly/3vtwdbU

“Two decades of state interventions had turned South Africa into Africa’s first welfare state, with a huge and growing black middle class plus a small band of black billionaires, catapulted into super-wealth by BEE legislation.” – Rian Malan #WhatSACanBe 🇿🇦

Did you know? 💡 The DTI spends tens of millions of Rands every year on so-called ‘black industrial innovation’. Racist, apartheid-era definitions are being used to enrich cronies. All SA’s problem solvers deserve a chance. The IRR has a plan: bit.ly/3vtwdbU

Interesting fact from the IRR: “The gap between rich black South Africans and poor black South Africans is the largest inequality gap in the world. After 20 years of spending huge amounts of taxpayers’ money on failures like BEE implementation, inequality in SA today is worse…

Did you know? 💡 Every year, govt spends millions of your taxes on projects like the Black Industrialist Programme. Apartheid-era racial divisions are being kept alive to enrich cadres. SA needs non-racial empowerment solutions. The IRR has a plan: bit.ly/3vtwdbU

Did you know? 💡 One decade of #EconomicGrowth did more for SA’s black people than two decades of BEE. #EconomicGrowth builds up – BEE breaks down. It’s time for real empowerment for all. The IRR has a plan: bit.ly/3vtwdbU

EWC won’t bring economic freedom. It will bring hardship and struggle. A growing economy with strong property rights brings jobs and true economic freedom. Property rights = freedom. The IRR stands in defence of freedom. Join us: irr.org.za/campaigns/ewc-…

Did you know? 💡 #EconomicGrowth creates jobs. From 2003 to 2006, SA’s economy grew by an average of 4.6% per year. Over this time, the number of unemployed people fell by ~1 million. Let’s get back to growth and real empowerment. The IRR has a plan: bit.ly/3vtwdbU
