DA policy head Gwen Ngwenya says the objective of its draft policy is to respond to the economic exclusion of the majority of South Africans
The DA set out a draft policy on economic justice on Friday that turned the ANC’s version of black economic empowerment on its head, saying that economic redress should be aimed only at the poor.
Redress policies would target the poor and marginalised as opposed to BEE, “which focuses on the wealthy, politically connected, or tenderprenuers”. “An ideal policy can address ongoing economic exclusion without perpetuating racial categories. If you can achieve both of those noble goals why would you not?” she says.
The DA would also not support the use of racial quotas to determine equal access to opportunity in the workplace, but believes that policies should be in place to prevent discrimination of all types. It argues that it is the responsibility of every employer and employee to prevent discrimination through workplace policies and practices.
