  • The benefits and misfortunes of capitalism and racism: An integral part of the South African history

    Sehlare Makgetlaneng | Governance
    06.04.2017

    Since 1994 South Africa has been unable to seriously change the national socio-economic direction in the interest of the majority of the people. The end of apartheid has helped to increase SA’s integration into global capitalism. The benefits and misfortunes of capitalism and racism are mass poverty for the majority and wealth and privileges for the powerful minority, which includes a few blacks.
