luzribeiroHere's a terrible case for your review:
http://news.iafrica.com/sa/943006.html
"The Institute of Race Relations (IRR) has released a statement saying affirmative action kills babies. In the statement, it says race-based policies are being used as a veil to conceal corruption and incompetence and many vulnerable communities are paying a deadly price for this. It cites the deaths of three babies in the Bloemhof Municipality blamed on contaminated drinking water as an example."
Well, perhaps real incompetence is indeed the elephant in the room here. I know, this country has seen a lot of injustice being done to the black majority, disenfranchising it and keeping it marginalized, using violence to suppress its aspirations, preventing it from unraveling its potential through widespread discriminatory practices that affirmative action has strived to rectify ever since the (at least nominal) dismantling of apartheid.
But enough with the excuses...
