Race, law and poverty in the new South Africa

Article Abstract:

The black middle class has expanded in South Africa, with the number of managers increasing from 1994-1996, though there has been less change since 1996. This is partly due to a lack of skilled black applicants due to deficiencies in the education system, both prior to the end of apartheid when most blacks were denied a good education, and afterwards due to the problems of schools in South Africa. The government sees racism as a reason for lack of black advancement, but laws to promote positive discrimination may make matters worse since the black middle class benefits, not poorer blacks.
