It has become popular in government circles to talk of “reversing the legacies of apartheid”.
The black compatriots in the area did not benefit from the system, creating a legacy of exclusion.
A systemic approach raises the prospect for today’s policymakers of harnessing the economic flywheel that has already been created in Sasolburg to deliver a path for progress for the area’s disadvantaged youth. It asks how education, land-use, local economic and global market systems and trade can be aligned and harnessed for generational transformation. How does government build a bridge between the “black” township school, and the industrial cluster in the area? What are the pathways to bringing disadvantaged workers into technically orientated small, medium and micro enterprises? How does government enable Sasol’s commercial success, and use it as a champion of transformation.
