# ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba says dismissing redress is dishonest denialism. He delivered a sharp rebuke to Solidarity CEO Dirk Hermann, accusing him of pushing a malicious and treasonous agenda against transformation. Mashaba argues that redress is a constitutional imperative rooted in apartheid’s structural injustices. While rejecting the ANC’s elite-driven black economic empowerment model, Mashaba insists South Africa still needs effective, non-racial empowerment policies. He calls for a model focused on real opportunity, poverty reduction, and skills development.
