# Die Instituut vir Rasseverhoudinge verwerp adjunkpresident Paul Mashatile se bewering dat Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging ‘n groot sukses is. Die organisasie sê bewyse toon Swart Ekonomiese Bemagtiging het werkloosheid vererger, ongelykheid verdiep, beleggings ontmoedig en hoofsaaklik ‘n klein elite-groep bevoordeel.

# The DA says Eskom must be unbundled urgently to save the mining sector from collapse. The party warns that soaring electricity prices, which have risen by more than 800-percent since 2007, are crippling mining and shutting down ferrochrome smelters, with Glencore closing all 22 of its furnaces. The DA’s Kevin Mileham says South Africa, […]
