Your editorial opinion refers (“Reimagining SA’s future”, January 7). My suspicion is that any national dialogue is unlikely to discuss the hard issues required for economic recovery.
Does anybody really expect the harmful effects of incapable cadre deployment, BEE, affirmative action and political/tender corruption to be discussed — especially when it is so closely linked to race and black nationalistic beliefs?
I can almost guarantee that private sector, specifically small business, concerns won’t be addressed. Yet exponential growth in this sector is the only way there is going to be any meaningful increase in permanent employment in SA.
We don’t need a national dialogue — we need the ANC, EFF and MK to have a Damascus experience and change their ideologies.
