Mike, I think this relates to my previous point about economic 
empowerment and comes down to the difference between affirmative action 
and economic empowerment. My understanding is that affirmative action 
has not been much of a success in the US, or in SA. Although very 
closely related and often confused, economic empowerment is more narrow 
and as I understand is far more of a win/win.
