IRR Webinar on four transformative bills for a freer, fairer, more prosperous SA

Four draft laws aimed at reshaping South Africa’s policy landscape to increase growth, accountability, and opportunity are the subject of an online discussion being hosted by the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) on Wednesday.

All four bills, the No More Race Laws Bill, the Value For Money Bill, the Right To Own Bill, and the Freedom From Poverty Bill, have been published this year.

Wednesday’s webinar will be hosted by Makone Maja, the IRR’s Strategic Engagement Manager, with fellow staffers, Hermann Pretorius, IRR Head of Strategic Communications and author of the No More Race Laws Bill and the Right To Own Bill, and Gabriel Crouse, IRR Fellow and author of the Value For Money Bill, setting out how this draft legislation underpins the IRR’s #WhatSACanBe initiative by securing property rights, ensuring clean governance, and ending poverty through policy grounded in freedom and economic growth.

The conversation will explore:

• How the Value For Money Bill enforces accountability and transparency in public procurement;
• How the Right To Own Bill protects property rights and limits state overreach, especially on the issue of expropriation without compensation; and
• How the Freedom From Poverty Bill proposes practical, pro-growth alternatives to race-based redistribution.

Participants will have the opportunity to put questions to the speakers.
