Hi everyone

I am a student from the UK who is interested in doing his dissertation (12,000 words) on the post apartheid state in South Africa. I have never done this before so it's all new to me. I would like to focus on the success/failures of the post-apartheid governments in addressing the issue of racial inequality. Could anybody offer me any insight, or point me towards a particular policy which has aimed to redress the balance? One I have looked at so far is the BEE, but can't seem to grasp what it is about at this early stage. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you
