RW Johnson: Nats on Apartheid mirrored by ANC on economic policy. Race-based idiocy

Political scientist RW Johnson exposes obvious parallels between the National Party’s Apartheid project and the ANC’s obsession with racially-based economic policies. Both had disastrous consequences - and required a radical re-think, fuelled by social unrest, before abandonment. The big question is whether Cyril Ramaphosa is able to adopt the radical change of an FW de Klerk or the timid, incrementally-based approach of PW Botha. Johnson spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
