The arguments made on behalf of affirmative action are weak and rely on emotive issues. I think some serious damage could be done to the SA economy because of it. It's interesting to hear half of the ANC government talking about affirmative action and at the same time other members of the Government are worrying about how to attract and retain skilled professionals the country so desperately needs.
I think that there has to be a better way other than quotas to provide equality of opportunity to all and make it work.
