The end of Affirmative action in RSA

Hi guys. I hope you are well.

I'm also well. Unfortunately it isn't so for the RSA government.
You see. word is, the UN seems to be pushing for answers as to why it is that the Government of South Africa still uses race based means to gather information about its citizens.

According to www.polity.org.za UN summited a report to the CERD (committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination) and in so doing got the ANC in water because this policy is instrumental in balancing the rich and the poor people's scales. The whites-notable the Afri Forum-view it as an equivalent to Apartheid policies because it limits their economic activities in a country they love.
It is reported that the Afri-Forum summited its own shadow report on the issue.

If it so happens that the CERD is not convinced with RSA's reasons for using the policy, the UN will push for an end of the policy in the next committee meeting in year 2020.
