SONA 2021 Reflection: Social welfare, the economy and human rights

Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) Ownership Share Schemes, particularly Employee Share Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and Broad-Based Schemes, are designed to move beyond "narrow-based" empowerment toward a model that distributes equity to workers and communities. While the policy faces ongoing debate regarding its macro-economic impact, several specific positive outputs have emerged from well-structured ownership schemes. Mondli Makhanya spoke to Duma Gqubule Independent Economist.

Freedom Day in South Africa is the annual celebration of the country's first non-racial democratic elections held on April 27, 1994. This historic event marked the formal end of over three centuries of colonialism, segregation, and white minority rule under the apartheid system. Before this date, the majority of South Africans were denied basic human rights and the ability to participate in the governance of their own country. The 1994 election was the culmination of decades of struggle, international pressure, and intense negotiations between liberation movements and the sitting government. Mondli Makhanya spoke to Author Prof Eddy Maloka, Sine Soxunjwa, Member of the Unemployed People’s movement and Steering Committee member for the National Dialogue, Ntsika Dapo - Is a master’s candidate and Activist (in philosophy) at Stellenbosch University and Kyle Haselsteiner an Activist.
