We have much experience of studying ANC policy documents and find the most recent set of nine documents interesting, in the sense that some of the more rabid Marxist dogma has been very clearly toned down, while flashes of economic common sense shine through here and there.
John Kane-Berman wrote a letter which appeared in Business Day stating that, "Views expressed by Prof Sipho Seepe in a series of columns in Business Day (most recently on May 6, Black man stating his opinion risks losing approval of whites) may have been assumed to be those of the South African Institute of Race Relations.

When it first came to fruition under Mandela’s South Africa, the equal opportunities act showed huge promise in rectifying inequalities perpetuated by the Apartheid government.

Party kritici sê ons ontleding is verkeerd en daar word geen poging aangewend om Suid-Afrika na sosialisme te lei nie.
