Ben's obsession with equality is entirely misplaced, where South Africa is concerned at present. Inequality is not the core problem in SA. Almost zero job creation, dreadful education, lack of economic growth, total dirth of sound economic policies designed for an emerging economy, an overarching view that Government know best, an historical & illogical attachment to socialism and nationalism, a leadership which views "Traditional Leaders" as having anything to contribute to the future at all,  racism embedded in all kinds of policies in the name of BBEEE,  an outdated and clearly failed protectionist view of industry which is massively supported by encouraging monopolies of all kinds .. these are where the real problems lie.
Tackling inequality as a source of all the problems in South Africa simply will  not work. We already have distributive tax & jobs policies, but the fashionable route to a good life is ONLY about loyalty to the ANC. THAT is the problem, in a nutshell.
