Interesting how light greens as a whole are unable to see themselves as a group. Many, many businesses are owned by Indians and only employ Indians. Then there is the proverbial Portugese & Greek corner shops.
Could it be that the light greens born in this country never developed a coherent group. There have always been at least two sub groups, Afrikaans & English. Those sub groups were comprised of various nationalities and those nationalities still have strong overtones within pockets of those societies fragmenting the groups even further.
The dark green does not need to divide and conquer, to the contrary, the light green has always been divided.
I fully agree with DesA, we are quick to talk about the business skills of the Indians, Jews, Portugese, Greeks, Chinese yet we frown upon our own RE networks.
Lets stop kidding ourselves, BEE is not primarily to benefit the masses, it is to shift power at the top of the pile. Look at Malema, Zuma & son & cronies, the problem is that the masses get a R50 / month increase and then fail to see that the Chief Dung Beetles have rolled the entire pile into their own nests.
