BEE for black Africans only will infringe on rights of others – Anton Alberts

ANC will also infringe upon economic rights of coloured and Indian people by making BEE only for ethnically black people

The FF Plus’s prediction that the ANC will not only infringe upon the economic rights of white people with its policies, has come to pass with the proposal made by the pro-Zuma faction of the ANC in KwaZulu-Natal, which states that Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) must benefit only ethnically black people, says adv Anton Alberts, chairperson of the FF Plus.

According to adv Alberts, this move is in line with the ANC’s true long-term objective to build a state where ethnically black people have all the political and economic power and where the people of other races are marginalised from society.

“The fact that such a move would be unconstitutional does not seem to bother the ANC at all and that is indicative of the fact that the Zuma-faction is positioning itself to grab more power, regardless of whether it is legal or not.

“This is how a desperate organisation, with desperate leaders, behaves – they are in crisis and are falling back on what is really going on in their hearts, that which was hidden for years under the politically correct mantle of human rights, social justice and economic affirmative action.

“The FF Plus will expose these plans of the ANC at the next United Nations (UN) conference for minorities at the end of this year,” says adv Alberts.
