Sampie Terreblanche: White South Africans Will Have to Make Some Sacrifices

On 1 August, SACSIS' Fazila Farouk spoke to renowned social commentator, author and public figure, Professor Sampie Terreblanch, who has spent many years researching and writing about South Africa's poverty and inequality. Terreblanche argues that the ANC's embrace of the neoliberal approach to economic development is the wrong model for South Africa. He argues further that the ruling party has used the public purse to facilitate an elite transition through black economic empowerment. However, he also notes that White South Africans occupy an extremely privileged position in this country and argues that if the dire situation of the bottom 50% of South Africa's population is going to change, then Whites will have to make a sacrifice. "There is no other way," he argues. For a transcript of this interview please visit the SACSIS website at http://sacsis.co.za/site/article/1749.
