ANC subcommittee chairperson Lindiwe Sisulu says addressing socioeconomic inequalities is at the centre of building a new society.ANC subcommittee chairperson Lindiwe Sisulu says since the party came to power in 1994 it has done little to achieve social transformation. The party will hold its three-day national policy conference from Friday to Sunday, with social transformation, poverty, inequality and unemployment high on its agenda.
She said since 1994 SA had not won the battle against social ills such as racism, gender-based violence and femicide. “At the centre of building a new society is the need to address socioeconomic inequalities which breed social ills such as high levels of violence, gender-based violence and femicide, including misuse of alcohol and drugs.
“This includes protecting vulnerable people and communities who are subjected to discrimination based on their gender, race and class. If you measure how far we have gone since we got our democracy and changed our society, you will find very little has changed,” she said.
