He cited findings from the presidential advisory council on
BBBEE, which was established shortly after the new administration under
President Jacob Zuma took office.
Herein lies the problem. This useless council does not contain much in the way of entrepreneurship mettle. It's made up of political appointees, corporate people and academics. And there are very few white people in this little band. So what you have is a bunch of people who do not run companies, do not know how to run companies who now tell all those racist whites how racist they are. And this is who our esteemed minister listens to.
What we need are people who run and own businesses, who understand what it takes to run a business and meet empowerment targets. And yes some of those people do need to be white – because this is empowerment's target market.
