An economically just society is one in which economic opportunities are available to all, and people have the capabilities to make use of those opportunities. We are not there yet. South Africa is still an economically unjust society.

Due to a history of apartheid as well as governance failures and corruption in the democratic era, there are skewed and shrinking opportunities. South Africa desperately needs a radically different approach to redress and inclusion.

Over two decades of political freedom have not resulted in adequate improvement in the socio-economic prospects of the majority of South Africans.

Our country’s social stability and progress depend on urgently fostering economic inclusion for the millions of people who remain locked out of the economy due to historical injustices committed on the basis of race.
