COPE stance on affirmative action amounts to self-strangulation

Losing touch with feelings of people on the ground is the one challenge many leaders stumble upon. That affirmative action will be not be a central preoccupation of COPE shows how out of step with reality are its founders.

Affirmative action matters today as it did in the last 100 years, and as we march towards 2012, the ANC will continue to show that it has a good grasp of this obvious fact.

COPE advisers are clearly new to this business of addressing previously disadvantaged people’s grassroots needs and their policy advice exposes their elitist agenda.
