South Africa: ANC's Coalition Partner Proposes Bill to Repeal Race-Based Laws |Firstpost Africa

The fragile multi-party coalition in South Africa is strained by the Democratic Alliance (DA)'s proposed "Economic Inclusion for All Bill", which seeks to repeal race-based Black empowerment laws. The DA, the second-largest party, argues that the African National Congress's (ANC) Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment policies are ineffective and corrupt, failing most Black South Africans. They aim to amend the Public Procurement Act of 2024, which gives an advantage to Black-owned companies for government contracts. The ANC defends these laws as vital for addressing the legacy of apartheid. The conflict is amplified by President Donald Trump's criticism of South African policies as anti-White discrimination, a sentiment the DA's bill echoes. This legislative battle highlights persistent racial and economic divides three decades after the end of White minority rule.
